Strip Polka - Johnny Mercer |
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 |
