THE LITTLE GERMAN BAND
Al Jolson


Beneath my window every morn
I can hear a great big horn
Oom pah-pah, oom pah-pah
In the backyard playing they are
I give them money when they play 
I give them more to go away
They all stand in a ring 
They play the same old thing
And when the leader pulls a string 
They drop their horns and sing

La, La, La, La, La
Such a pretty melody
La, La, La, La, La
Like the birdies in the tree
La, La, La, La, La
Everybody sing with me 

Oh that music is so grand 
From the little German Band
Toot Toot Toot, Toot Toot Toot
The bass horn fella is the best 
Now he can almost drown the rest
They don't play something new
They blow until they're blue
And when you think there through
They'll sing a line or two

La, La, La, La, La
Such a pretty melody
La, La, La, La, La
Like the birdies in the tree
La, La, La, La, La
Everybody sing with us
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La, La
