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,
