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
