By Strauss lyrics

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 this drivel

It's only for night-clubbing souses?

Oh give me the free-'n'-easy waltz, that is Vienneasy and

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!

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!
