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!

  Just give me your oom-pa-pah,
