Song lyrics

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 night-clubbing souses
Oh give me the free-'n-easy
Waltz that is Viennesey
And, go tell the band, if they want a hand
The waltz must be Strauss's
Yeah yeah yeah
Give me oom-pa-pa

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 Jove, by jing, by Strauss is the thing
So I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus!
Just give me an oom-pa-pa
By Strauss

Let the Danube flow along
And the Fledermaus
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 an oom-pa-pa
By Strauss
