Away with the music of Broadway Be off with your Irving Berlin No, I give no quarter to Kern or Cole Porter And Gershwin keeps pounding on tin How can I be civil when hearing that drivel? It's only for night-clubbing souses Just 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 Ja ja ja, 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 in 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 an 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 an oom-pa-pah by Strauss!
