Otto And Helga

Otto and Helga on a bike.
Breathing the mountain air.
Eating a picnic way up high
like a millionaire.
Otto supplies a singing voice.
Helga supplies basoon.
Put on a record seventy-eight.
Play along till noon.
Helga and Otto.
Champers and blotto.
Weaving round the pike.
Otto and Helga on a bike.

Otto and Helga in the town.
Playing the local fair.
Otto is singing of the moon.
Helga braids her hair.
People are rushing to and fro.
Thin as a lollipop.
Too many people made to squeeze
into the corner shop.
Otto sees Helga.
Helga sees Otto.
Otto's hair is brown.
Otto and Helga in the town.

Otto and Helga in the snow.
Holding the moment tight.
Music is playing everywhere
loud and crystal white.
Listen beneath the forest arc.
Helga with her basoon.
Otto is humming to himself
thinking of the moon.
Otto sees Helga.
Helga sees Otto.
Kiss and then they go.
Otto and Helga in the snow.
