I`ve got minute
Just a little minute
I have only got a minute
Just a minute
I have only got a minute
That is all the time I have
To sing this tiny little minute waltz
It isn`t easy but I`ll try it then
I`ve got to say goodbye
But first I`ll take a minute
And put in it
Every note that you may know
That less I sing a little minute waltz
And hope I can sing with no faults
I know it`s difficult
I`ll give it every last breath that I`ve got within my body
Hope that my performance won`t be very shoddy
Singing every moment won`t do wonders for my throat
I probably will end up hoarse
Of course I will I`ve got it down a wager
That I made I will I want
I know its 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
All too soon the minute waltzes by
And now I ask you where am I
Halfway through the tune and I`m falling far behind

I have less than thirty seconds
Less than thirty seconds
Less than thirty 
Less than half a minute
I have less than thirty seconds
I have less than half a minute
To complete this little minute waltz
But every note that`s in the score I buy
The sands of time I know are pouring at me
With my bet and honour with the money
Down to some big store and there to buy a honey
And a trophy for myself
To put upon the shelf
To show the world I`ve won

Oh, the second hand is rushing round the dial
And though I`d like to end this torture with a smile
And lest someone knows how to stop the clock
You`re gonna see me cry
Before I say goodbye
_____ To complete the song
But I`m afraid my little lungs will burst before too long
If only I can last this day
I won`t have failed to sing a little minute waltz.
