Oom-Pah-Pah |
They’re singing in the city |
Espeshly when they’ve been |
On the gin |
Or the beer |
If you’ve got the patience, |
Your own imaginations |
Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear… |
ALL |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
That’s how it goes, |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Ev’ryone knows. |
NANCY |
They all suppose what they want to suppose |
When they hear… oom-pah-pah! |
Mister Percy Snodgrass |
Would often have the odd glass -- |
But never when he thought anybody could see. |
Secretly he’d buy it, |
And drink it on the quiet, |
And dream he was an Earl |
Wiv a girl on each knee! |
CUSTOMERS AND NANCY |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
That’s how it goes. |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Ev’ryone knows… |
NANCY |
What is the cause of his red shiny nose? |
Could it be… oom-pah-pah?! |
Pretty little Sally |
Goes walking down the alley, |
Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men. |
They could see her garters, |
But not for free-and-gratis-- |
An inch or two, and then she knows |
When to say when! |
ALL |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
That’s how it goes. |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Ev’ryone knows… |
NANCY |
Whether it’s hidden, or whether it shows -- |
It’s the same… oom-pah-pah! |
She was from the country, |
But now she’s up a gum-tree -- |
She let a feller feed 'er, then lead 'er along |
What’s the good o’cryin'? |
She’s made a bed to lie in She’s glad to bring the coin in, |
And join in this song! |
ALL |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
That’s how it goes! |
Oom-pah-pah!Oom-pah-pah! |
Ev’ryone knows. |
NANCY |
She is no longer the same blushing rose |
Ever since … oom-pah-pah! |
(spoken) Altogether now! |
NANCY |
(sung) There’s a little ditty |
They’re singing in the city |
Espeshly when they’ve been |
On the gin |
Or the beer |
If you’ve got the patience, |
Your own imaginations |
Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear… |
COMPANY |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
That’s how it goes, |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Ev’ryone knows. |
They all suppose what they want to suppose |
When they hear… oom-pah-pah! |
ALL |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
That’s how it goes, |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Oom-pah-pah! |
Ev’ryone knows. |

When they hear… oom-pah-pah! |
