By Strauss |
| 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! |
| OPERA-LIKE SCATS OF TUNES 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! |
