Composed by Lionel Bart. Arranged by Dennis Ruello. Contemporary. Score and parts. 29 pages. Chicory Music #3584661. Published by Chicory Music (A0.734383)."Oom-Pah-Pah" is a lively and somewhat risqué show tune with music and lyrics by Lionel Bart and appearing in the musical Oliver!, when it is sung by Nancy and the crowd at the "Three Cripples" tavern. The word "oom-pah-pah" is seemingly used euphemistically to refer to both intoxication and fornication; however, as the song points out, the word's meaning is only as dirty as the listener interprets it. Although not an original music hall song, it recalls that genre well and, in terms of both its tempo and suggestiveness, shares characteristics with such late 19th century songs as "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay". A perfect tune for Oktoberfest with an optional vocal and German Band instrumentation.
Performance time approx. 2 minutes 12 seconds.
