White Man's Melody
In the bosom of Europa
Little Liza was caressed
By the music of the angels
Playing underneath her dress
She saw the great Caruso
And that's when she fell in love
She'd think of him as Elvis
If she knew what Elvis was
Spinning round and round
You can hear her moan
She's all by herself
But she's not alone
Wonderful things
Happen for me
Whenever I sing
A white man's melody
Wonderful wave
Wash over me
Whenever I sing
A white man's melody
By the shores of Gitchigoomie
She was floating on the bank
She was dreaming of Al Jolson
And what she thought he said
He was lookin' in the mirror
He was puttin' on the paint
Said the hardest thing about this job
Is bein' what ye ain't
Just an old white man
In a strange new world
Can you come out tonight
Little Buffalo girl
Ohh, wonderful things
Happen to me
Whenever I sing
A white man's melody
Wonderful wave
Wash over me
Whenever I sing
That white man's melody
From the loins of Liberace
Sprang a million little tunes
And they whirled around Eliza
Like so many little moons
Every jewel held a secret
Every flourish held a clue
As they held her in a rapture
Sayin' "I'll be seein' you"
Wonderful things
Happen to me
Whenever I sing
The white man's melody
Wonderful wave
Wash over me
Whenever I sing
That white man's melody
(Whoa-whoa)
Wonderful wave
(Whoa-whoa)
Wonderful things
(Whoa-whoa)
Well they happen,
(whoa-whoaaa)
Happen, happen, happen to me
(Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoaaa)
Whenever I sing
(Whoa-whoa)
Whenever I sing
(whoa-whoaaa)
That white man's melody
Oh, that white man's melody
Little Liza was caressed
By the music of the angels
Playing underneath her dress
She saw the great Caruso
And that's when she fell in love
She'd think of him as Elvis
If she knew what Elvis was
Spinning round and round
You can hear her moan
She's all by herself
But she's not alone
Wonderful things
Happen for me
Whenever I sing
A white man's melody
Wonderful wave
Wash over me
Whenever I sing
A white man's melody
By the shores of Gitchigoomie

And what she thought he said

(Whoa-whoa)
Whenever I sing
(whoa-whoaaa)
That white man's melody
Oh, that white man's melody
