An American In Paris (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
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 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!
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!"
