Текст песни: Oom-Pah-Pah + перевод

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…

ALL

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

That’s how it goes

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

Ev’ryone knows

NANCY

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!

CUSTOMERS AND NANCY

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

That’s how it goes

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

Ev’ryone knows…

NANCY

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!

ALL

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

That’s how it goes

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

Ev’ryone knows…

NANCY

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!

ALL

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

That’s how it goes!

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

Ev’ryone knows

NANCY

She is no longer the same blushing rose

Ever since … oom-pah-pah!

(spoken) Altogether now!

NANCY

(sung) 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…

COMPANY

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

That’s how it goes

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

Ev’ryone knows

They all suppose what they want to suppose

When they hear… oom-pah-pah!

ALL

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

That’s how it goes

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

Ev’ryone knows

NANCY

They all suppose what they want to suppose

When they hear… oom-pah-pah!

ALL

Oom-pah-pah!
