Oompahpah lyrics

CHAIRMAN

(spoken) 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!

NANCY

(spoken) All right, shut up, you lot! A bit of culture now! `Ere we go...

(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...

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!
