Oom Pah Pah 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 & 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 feed '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!
