Rolf: There's nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slumming it with the poor
They ride up on their bicycles and gawk
At the people in the common just to watch them talk
Take Georg Von Trapp, the man is loaded
Uh-oh, but little does he know
That his daughters Liesl, Luisa and Brigitta
Sneak into the city just to get a peek at all the
Girls:
Werk, werk! Brigitta!
Werk, werk! Luisa
And Liesl! The Von Trapp sisters
Luisa - Brigitta - Liesl! Werk!
Brigitta: Vati said to be home by sundown
Luisa: Vati doesn't need to know
Brigitta: Vati said not to go downtown
Liesl: Maria said we're free to go
Girls: But - look around, look around
The Anschluss will be coming soon to Salzburg (Salzburg…)
Auf wiedersehen… werk!
Brigitta: It's bad enough there's about to be a war
Luisa: People shouting in the square
Brigitta: It's bad enough Hitler's banging on our door
Liesl: Sounds of music in the air
Girls: But look around, look around
Luisa: Bitte, Liesl, tell me what we're looking for
Men: She's looking for me!
Liesl: Luisa, I'm looking for a mind at work (work)
I'm looking for a mind at work (work)
I'm looking for a mind at work (work)
Whoa, whoa - work!
Rolf: Ach! There's nothing like summer in the city
Someone in a rush next to someone looking pretty
Excuse me, Fräulein, I know it's not funny
But your perfume smells like your Vati's got money
Why you slumming in the city in your curtain dress?
You yearnin' for a German who can ease your distress?
Liesl: Rolf, you disgust me.
Rolf: Ah, so you've discussed me.
You're a trust fund baby, you can trust me.
Liesl: I just wanna taste my first champagne
Some men say that I'm fast-paced or I'm insane
You want a Nazi Reich? I want free Österreich
So listen to my riff on Edelweiss
Girls: Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Liesl: And when I turn seventeen (Uh!)
I'ma tell you when we'll join you - never! Werk!
Brigitta: Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
Girls: Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
History is happening in Salzburg and we just happen to be
In the greatest city in the world
In the greatest city in the world
Luisa & Brigitta (Liesl):
Look around, look around
(I just wanna taste my first champagne)
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
(Some men say that I'm fast-paced or I'm insane)
Look around, look around
(You want a Nazi Reich? I want free Österreich)
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
(So listen to my riff on Edelweiss)
Girls:
Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
History is happening to the Von Trapps and we just happen to be
In the greatest city, in the greatest city in the world
In the greatest city in the world!
