"12: Oom Pah Pah!"

(ALL)

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That's how it goes, 
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev'ryone knows. 

(SOLO 1) 
They all suppose
What they want to suppose

(ALL)

When they hear...oom-pah-pah!
(Nancy) There's a little ditty
They're singing in the city
'Specially 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. 

(SOLO 1) 
They all suppose what they want to suppose

(ALL)
When they hear...oom-pah-pah!! 

​(NANCY)
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!

 (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

(ALL)
When they hear...oom-pah-pah!! 

(NANCY)
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 knew
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) 
They all suppose what they want to suppose

(ALL)
When they hear...oom-pah-pah!!
