That Wonderful Dengoza Strain - letra - Ernesto Nazareth

That Wonderful Dengoza Strain, one step
Música de Abner Greenberg
Letra de Wiliam Jerome
[Paródia sobre o maxixe Dengoso, de Ernesto Nazareth]
trecho da letra:
That familiar tune they’re playing
You hear in ev’ry cabaret
That tune that sets your heart swaying
Haunts you at night and in the day
Ma hums it when she sets the table,
John sings it on his way to school
Gradma tried hard but was not able,
Granpa keeps acting like a fool
Even Bridget, the cook, brought the Castle’s new book!
Oh that wonderful strain! Oh that dreamy refrain! From ‘Frisco to Maine
It’s such a teasing, squeezing, pleasing, little wonderful thing,
And once you hear it you can’t help but sing La la la, Tra la la!
Ev’ry Tango instructor, eve’ry streetcar conductor,
Does a motion like the ocean to this tune from Brazil,
That wonderful Dengoza Strain!
