By Strauss

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,
