Oom-Pah-Pah - Georgia Brown/Oliver! Ensemble

作词：Lionel Bart

作曲：Lionel Bart

Ladies and gentlemen brethren and sinners all

I call upon our Goddess of the

Virtues to give us her well known rendition

Of the old school song

Oom-Pah-Pah

There's a little ditty

They're singing in the city

Ecspecilly when they've been

On the gin

Or the beer

If you've got the patience

Your own imaginations

Will tell you just exactly

What you want to hear

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

That's how it goes

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

Everyone knows

They all suppose what they want to suppose

When they hear oom-pah-pah

Mister Percy Snodgrass

Would often have the odd glass

But never when he thought anybody could see

Secretly he'd buy it

And drink it on the quiet

And dream he was an Earl

Wiv a girl on each knee

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

That's how it goes

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

Everyone knows

What is the cause of his red shiny nose

Could it be oom-pah-pah

Pretty little Sally

Goes walking down the alley

Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men

They could see her garters

But not for free-and-gratis

An inch or two and then she knows

When to say when

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

That's how it goes

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

Everyone knows

Whether it's hidden or whether it shows

It's the same oom-pah-pah

She was from the country

But now she's up a gum-tree

She let a feller beat 'er then lead 'er along

What's the good o' cryin'

She's made a bed to lie in

She's glad to bring the coin in

And join in this song

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

That's how it goes

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

Everyone knows

She is no longer the same blushing rose

Ever since oom-pah-pah

Altogether now

There's a little ditty

They're singing in the city

Espeshly when they've been

On the gin

Or the beer

If you've got the patience

Your own imaginations

Will tell you just exactly

What you want to hear

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

That's how it goes

Oom-pah-pah Oom-pah-pah

Everyone knows

They all suppose

What they want to suppose

When they hear oom-pah-pah
