By Strauss

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!
 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!"
