Lyrics
0:16Away with the music of Broadway
0:20Be off with your Irving Berlin
0:24Oh I give no quarter to Kern or Cole Porter
0:28And Gershwin keeps pounding on tin
0:36How can I be civil when hearing this drivel
0:40It's only for nightclubbin' souses
0:45Oh give me the free 'n' easy waltz
0:48That is Vienneasy and
0:51Go tell the band If they want a hand
0:56The waltz must be Strauss's
1:00Ya ya ya give me oom-pa-pah
1:10When I want a melody
1:14Lilting through the house
1:15Then I want a melody
1:18By Strauss
1:20It laughs it sings the world is in rhyme
1:25Swinging to three-quarter time
1:29Let the Danube flow along
1:33And the Fledermauss
1:34Keep the wine and give me song
1:37By Strauss
1:40By Jove by Jing by Strauss is the thing
1:45So I say to ha-cha-cha heraus
1:50Just give me your oom-pa-pah by Strauss
2:14Let the Danube flow along
2:17And the Fledermauss
2:19Keep the wine and give me song
2:22By Strauss
2:24By Jove by Jing by Strauss is the thing
2:33So I say to ha-cha-cha heraus
2:39Just give me your oom-pa-pah
2:43By Strauss "
