Maureen McGovern - By Strauss lyrics

Your rating:


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 that drivel?

It's only for night-clubbing souses

Just 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



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!



OPERATIC SCATS OF TUNES 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!
