Away with the music of Broadway
Be off with your Irving Berlin
Oh I give no quarter to Kern or Cole Porter
And Gershwin keeps pounding on tin
How can I be civil when hearing this drivel
It's only for nightclubbin' souses
Oh give me the free 'n' easy waltz
that is Vienneasy and
Go tell the band If they want a hand
The waltz must be Strauss's
Ya ya ya give me oom pa pah
When I want a melody
Lilting through the house
Then I want a melody
By Strauss
It laughs it sings the world is in rhyme
Swinging to three quarter time
Let the Danube flow along
And the Fledermauss
Keep the wine and give me song
By Strauss
By Jove by Jing by Strauss is the thing
So I say to ha cha cha heraus
Just give me your oom pa pah by Strauss
Let the Danube flow along
And the Fledermauss
Keep the wine and give me song
By Strauss
By Jove by Jing by Strauss is the thing
So I say to ha cha cha heraus
Just give me your oom pa pah
by Strauss
