Lyrics
oh what a time we had down by the danube!, eating our ghoulash 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 ghoulash 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 ghoulash 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?", dear mr hilter, we've been meaning to tell you, it's really quite simple, you don't have to fear, we ain't your rolling stones, we ain't your t-rex, actually we're only here for the beer, oh what a time we had down by the danube!, eating our ghoulash and drinking our wine, listening to gypsy bands playing cimbaloms, everyone's happy and things are just fine, into the van again, out on the highway, back to our hotel to take a rest, everyone's swigging their egri bikaver, things really were funny in old budapest, oh what a time we had down by the danube!, eating our ghoulash and drinking our wine, listening to gypsy bands playing cimbaloms, everyone's happy and things are just fine, oh what a time we had down by the danube, drinking our ghoulash and drinking our wine, i've fucked it up!
