Print Version

I have got a minute, just a little minute,
I have only got a minute, just minute,
I have only got a minute that is all the time
I have to sing this tiny minute waltz
It isn't easy but i'll try it
Than i gotta say goodbye
But first i take a minute
And put in it every note that chopin wrote
And i shall sing the little minute waltz
And hope that i can sing with no faults
And though it's difficult
I'll give it last every last breath that i got within in my body
Hope that my performance won't be very shoddy
Singing every note
I'm not the one to spoil my throat
I probably will end up hoarse
Of course i will i've done it
An a way from that i made i will i want
It's not the money but the satisfaction that i get
From winning money on this silly kind of bet
Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention
Chopin isn't here to make an intervention
So with your permission and no intermission
I will sing each note that that composer wrote
As you can hear my trilling isn't very thrilling
But no one can say i wasn't very willing
To attempt a thing that's not been done
And just for fun to sing the minute waltz
As i sing the seconds fly, oh too soon the minute waltzed by
And now i ask you where am i halfway through the tune
And i'm falling far behind
I have less than 30 seconds
Less than 30 seconds
Less than 30
Less than half a minute
I have less than 30 seconds
I have less than half a minute
To complete this little minute waltz
On every note that's in this score
While the sands of time i know are pouring
Let me win my bet and i'll run with the money
Down to something store there i'll buy a honey
Of a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf show the world i won
Oh the second hand is rushing round the dial
And though i'd like to end this torture with a smile
Unless someone knows how to stop the clock
You gonna see me cry before i said goodbye
Eight little measures to complete this song
But i'm afraid my little lungs will burst before to long if
Only i can last to scale
I won't have failed to sing the minute waltz!

Other Barbra Streisand song Lyrics
Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home "Free and easy That's my style Howdy-do me? Watch me smile..."	Keepin Out of Mischief Now "Keepin' out of mischief now I really am in love and how I'm through playin' with fire It's you whom i desire..."
Lover, Come Back to Me "Sky was blue and high above The moon was new, so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover, where can you be..."	I Stayed Too Long At The Fair "I wanted the music to play on forever Have i stayed too long at the fair? I wanted the clown to be constantly clever Have i stayed too long at the fair?..."
My Honeys Loving Arms "I love your loving arms They hold a world of charms A place to nestle When i am lonely..."	Soon Its Gonna Rain "Hear how the wind begins to whisper See how the leaves go streaming by Smell how the velvet rain is falling Out where the fields are warm and dry..."
When The Sun Comes Out "When the sun comes out And the rain stops beating on my window pane When the sun comes out There'll be blue birds 'round my door..."	Much More "much more I'd like to swim In a clear blue stream Where the water is icy cold..."
