Phillip Sear plays his piano harmonisation of a couplet by Johann Strauss the Younger (viewer's request).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This couplet is a setting by Strauss (I only have the melody) of verses by the well-known Viennese lyricist Carl Lorens (1851-1909).  The verses are in Viennese dialect, but a rough translation of the title is 'Being a gadabout is my life'.  It was made popular by the singer Anna Fiori at the Vienna Orpheum theatre.  Apparently this does not appear in the standard list of Strauss's works (unless it is actually taken from an operetta or other longer piece).
