By Strauss Lyrics - 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 

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
