Oh Play That Umpah Umpah Umpah 1913

Mary Lee loved melody
One night at a concert she
heard a trombone player play
a tune that stole her heart away.
The tune he played she thought was grand,
she offered him her heart and hand,
and bothered him to beat the band
each evening at the show,
She'd sit down in the foremost row
and whisper soft and low.

Oh play that Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah tune for me
that Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah melody.
Oh the feeling you start
now you're stealing my heart.
Blow, oh blow, just let it
go, oh, oh, oh,
Umpah, Umpah, Umpah, Umpah,
Now I'm gone,
Umpah, Umpah, Umpah, Umpah
play right on.
Let's get married and spoon,
to that lovable tune
on our Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah honeymoon.

Oh play that Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah tune for me
that Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah melody.
Oh the feeling you start
now you're stealing my heart.
Blow, oh blow, just let it
go, oh, oh, oh,
Umpah, Umpah, Umpah, Umpah,
Now I'm gone,
Umpah, Umpah, Umpah, Umpah
play right on.
Let's get married and spoon,
to that lovable tune
on our Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah honeymoon.

Just to be around her beau,
Mary joined that very show
when he played the trombone
she would sigh and cry in ecstasy.
She took his melody and wrote,
a little song that got his goat,
she had the Umpah note for note
and sang it twice a day,
he simply couldn't get away
from playing when she'd say.

Oh play that Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah tune for me
that Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah melody.
Oh the feeling you start
now you're stealing my heart.
Blow, oh blow, just let it
go, oh, oh, oh,
Umpah, Umpah, Umpah, Umpah,
Now I'm gone,
Umpah, Umpah, Umpah, Umpah
play right on.
Let's get married and spoon,
to that lovable tune
on our Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah honeymoon.

Oh play that Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah tune for me
that Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah melody.
Oh the feeling you start
now you're stealing my heart.
Blow, oh blow, just let it
go, oh, oh, oh,
Umpah, Umpah, Umpah, Umpah,
Now I'm gone,
Umpah, Umpah, Umpah, Umpah
play right on.
Let's get married and spoon,
to that lovable tune
on our Umpah, Umpah,
Umpah, Umpah honeymoon.
