joan morris & william bolcom - by strauss lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
away with the music of broadway!
be off with your irving berlin
oh, i’d 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 nightclubbing souses
oh, give me the free and easy
waltz that is viennesey
and go tell the band
if they want a hand
the waltz must be strauss’s
ja, ja, ja
give me oom+pah+pah

[chorus]
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 fledermaus
keep the wine and give me song
by strauss
by jo, by jing!
by strauss is the thing!
so i say to ha+cha+cha
heraus!
just give me a oom+pah+pah
by strauss!
[piano solo]

[chorus]
let the danube flow along
and the fledermaus
keep the wine and give me song
by strauss
by jo, by jing!
by strauss is the thing!
so i say to ha+cha+cha
heraus!
just give me an oom+pah+pah
by strauss!
