By Strauss (Arr. for Tenor, Piano and ensemble by Michaël Ertzscheid & Frank Sibold)

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!
