This is the strip polka |
|
I adore this [incomprehensible] |
|
[incomprehensible] |
|
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 |
