By Strauss

By Strauss - Lesley Garrett (萊斯麗·加芮特)/George Gershwin (喬治·格什溫)

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

By Strauss "
