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!
