Oom Pah Pah

Oom Pah Pah - Oliver Original Cast

There's a little ditty

They're singing in the city

Espeshly when they've been

On the gin

Or the beer

If you've got the patience

Your own imaginations

Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

That's how it goes

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

Everyone knows

They all suppose what they want are suppose

When they hear oom pah pah

Mister Percy Snodgrass

Would often have the odd glass

But never when he thought anybody could see

Secretly he'd buy it

And drink it on the quiet

And dream he was an Earl

Wiv a girl on each knee

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

That's how it goes

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

Everyone knows

What is the cause of his red shiny nose

Could it be oom pah pah

Pretty little Sally

Goes walking down the alley

Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men

And they could see her garter

But not for free and gratis

An inch or two and then she knows

When to say when

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

That's how it goes

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

Everyone knows

Whether it's hidden or whether it shows

It's the same oom pah pah

She was from the country

But now she's up a gum tree

She let a feller feed then lead along

What's the you to crying

She's made a bed to lie in

She's glad to bring the coin in

And join in this song

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

That's how it goes

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

Everyone knows

She is no longer the same blushing rose

Ever since oom pah pah

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

That's how it goes

Oom pah pah oom pah pah

Everyone knows

They all suppose what they want are suppose

When they hear oom pah pah
