Hungarian Rhapsody - Fairport Convention, Timi Donald

Oh what a time we had down by the Danube!

Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine

Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms

Everyone’s happy and things are just fine

Finished our food and got into the wagon

To drive 80 miles and then do the show

5 hours later, we’re still busy trucking

Banging and bumping;

don’t know where to go

Oh what a time we had down by the Danube!

Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine

Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms

Everyone’s happy and things are just fine

Got to the gig, although nobody else did

Set up the gear and began to play

Farmers and soldiers just standing and staring

Just didn’t know what to make of the day

Oh what a time we had down by the Danube!

Eating our Goulash and drinking our wine

Listening to Gypsy bands playing cimbaloms

Everyone’s happy and things are just fine

Finished the last song and made for the exit

But the manager man had come up from the sticks

He said «why ain’t you dressed like a poofter ensemble

Leaping pianos and waving your legs?»
