The waltzes of Mittel Europa
They charm you and warm you within
While each day discloses
What Broadway composes
Is emptiness pounding on tin
Mein Herr
Mein Herr
Bitte, bitte
Denke, danke
Aufwiedersehen Aufwiedersehen
How can I be civil
When hearing this drivel
It's only for night clubbing souses
Oh give me the free 'n easy
Waltz that is Viennes y
And go tell the band
If they want a hand
The waltz must be Strauss's
Ya ya ya
Give me oom pah 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 Fledermaus
Keep the wine and give me song
By Strauss
By Jo, By Jing
By Strauss is the thing
So I say to ha cha cha
Heraus
Just give me an oom pah pah
By Strauss
When I want a melody
Lilting through the house
Then I want a melody
By Strauss
It laughs
Ah, ah, ah, ah
It sings
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
Let the Danube flow along
And The Fledermaus
Keep the wine and give me song
By Strauss
By Jo, By Jing
Gentlemen, the Emperor
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
By Strauss
