How they dance, dance, dance,

In the white and heated light,

Till the berries that o’ersprinkle

Every picture seem to twinkle

With a crystalline delight.

Keeping time, time, time,

To the valse-exciting rhyme

Of Der Schönen Blauen Donau that so musically wells;

Oh, the belles, belles, belles, belles,

Belles, belles, belles,
