By Strauss

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! OPERATIC 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!
