Joseph Middleton, Mary Bevan and Nicky Spence - By Strauss

"When hearing such drivel?
It's all just for nightclubbing souses
Oh, give me the free and easy
Waltz that is Viennese-y
And
Go tell the band
If they want a hand
The waltz must be Strauss'
Ja, ja, ja
Give me oom-pah-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 in three-quarter time
Let the Danube flow along
And Die Fledermaus
Keep the wine and give me song
By Strauss
By jo, by jing!
By Strauss is the thing!
So I say to ha-cha-cha
Heraus!
Just give me an oom-pah-pah
By Strauss!"
