Ella Fitzgerald - By Strauss





 

Artist: Ella Fitzgerald
Album: Unknown
Title: 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!

(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!"
