By Strauss Lyrics

By Strauss lyrics

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!

(bridge)

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!"
