George Gershwin - In Three-Quarter Time lyrics

[George Gershwin - In Three-Quarter Time lyrics]

When Frederick the Great was at Potsdam
The French introduced the gavotte
But Fred warned his henchmen
'Twas all right for Frenchmen
But Germans? Oh, certainly not!
"With waltzes we've built up the empire
For waltzes, " said Freddy, "I fight!"
So poet and peasant from then to the present
Have waltzed from the morning till night
When a Musiker doesn't bring Strauss mit ihm
He is no Musiker 'Raus mit 'im!

We laugh and we sing oom pah pah
And we dance in three-quarter time
When having our fling oom pah pah
We romance in three-quarter time
It makes us sentimental
It makes the night sublime
Our dogs, they have rabies
Our women have babies in three-quarter time
So, me for three-four time



We laugh and we sing oom pah pah
And we dance in three-quarter time
When having our fling oom pah pah
We romance in three-quarter time
Way back in German history
When Man began to climb
I'm certain that Adam made love to his madam
In three-quarter time
So, me for three-four time

We laugh and we sing oom pah pah
And we dance in three-quarter time
When having our fling oom pah pah
We romance in three-quarter time
From Düsseldorf to Frankfurt
From Lentz to Schnableheim
The petticoat gender will always surrender
To three-quarter time so, me for three-four
Pooh for two-four me for three-four time
