By Strauss — текст песни (Ella Fitzgerald)

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

Its 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 strausss



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!



(bridge)



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!"
