Ella Fitzgerald "By Strauss" |
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 night-clubbing souses Oh give me the free-�n-easy Waltz that is Viennesey And, go tell the band, if they want a hand The waltz must be Strauss's Yeah yeah yeah Give me oom-pa-pa 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 jove, by jing, by Strauss is the thing So I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus! Just give me an oom-pa-pa By Strauss Let the Danube flow along And the Fledermaus 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!
