Strip Polka |
| This is the strip polka |
| I adore this |
| There’s a burlesque theater where the gang loves to go |
| To see queenie the cutie of the burlesque show |
| And the thrill of the evening is when out queenie skips |
| And the band plays the polka while she strips |
| «Take it off, take it off», cries a voice from the rear |
| «Take it off, take it off», soon it’s all you can hear |
| But she’s always a lady even in pantomime |
| So she stops and always just in time |
| She’s as fresh and as wholesome as the flowers in May |
| And she hopes to retire to the farm someday |
| But you can’t buy a farm until you’re up in the chips |
| So the band plays the polka while she strips |
| «Take it off, take it off», all the customers shout |
| «Down in front, down in front», while the band beats it out |
| But she’s always a lady even in pantomime |
| So she stops and always just in time |
| Queenie, queen of them all |
| Queenie, someday you’ll fall |
| Someday church bells will chime |
| In strip polka time |
| Oh, she hates corny waltzes and she hates the gavotte |
| And there’s one big advantage if the music’s hot |
| It’s a fast moving exit just in case something rips |
| So the band plays the polka while she strips |
| Drop around, take it in, it’s the best in the west |
| «Take it off, take it off, take it off», you can yell like the rest |
| Take her out when it’s over, she’s a peach when she’s dressed |
| But she stops and always just in time, time, time |
| Queenie, queen of them all |
| Queenie, someday you’ll fall |
| Someday church bells will chime |
| In strip polka time |
