Return to Vienna

The last time I saw Vienna,
I idled in some small cafe,
Had some strudel and mocha
And dreamt the day away,
Went out to a Grinzing bar,
Had some wine,
And after the fifth glass,
I felt simply divine,
Met a Viennese gal at my hotel,
Took her waltzing in the park,
And things progressed quite well.

The last time I saw Vienna,
My hometown I left long ago,
It's charms enthralled me once again
With longings which I used to know.
