Austrian Idol On Tour

4. Austrian Idol On Tour

If you think the pop star
Is a new phenomena
Then just think again
‘Cos in seventeen-sixty-three
Wolfie and his family
Hit the road with a rockin’ little show

For the royalty of Europe
He would do his thing
Hoping they would pay
To see this ‘Little Wizard’
Cast his spell on them
With his keyboard and his violin

Chorus
He was an Austrian Idol on tour
Playing all the hits
And all the really tricky bits
Always on the move from town to town
Because there’s no time to be idle
For an Austrian Idol on tour

Just for fun he’d play
With the keyboard covered over
Make the audience gasp (ah!)
Tell them which note
He could hear on anything
Bells and clocks and even on a glass

So for three-and-a-half years
Wolfie was away from home
Thousands heard him play
But he was small
And not very well at all
He got sick and almost died
When he was nine

Bridge
Come on Wolfie
You’ve got to pull through
There’s so much left for you to do

Chorus
‘Cos you’re an Austrian Idol on tour
Playing all the hits
And all the really tricky bits
Always on the move from town to town
Because there’s no time to be idle
For an Austrian Idol
When you’re hot you’re hot
Next you’re fighting for survival
Got to keep them screaming
For the Austrian Idol on tour
