Lyrics

[00:12.86] There's a burlesque theatre where the gang loves to go
[00:17.12] To see Queenie the cutie of the burlesque show
[00:21.25] And the thrill of the evening is when out Queenie skips
[00:25.29] And the band plays the polka while she strips
[00:29.83] Take it off Take it off Cries a voice from the rear
[00:33.92] Take it off Take it off Soon it's all you can hear
[00:37.97] But she's always a lady even in pantomime
[00:42.17] So she stops And always just in time
[00:46.46] She's as fresh and as wholesome as the flowers in May
[00:50.50] And she hopes to retire to the farm someday
[00:54.60] But you can't buy a farm until you're up in the chips
[00:58.81] So the band plays the polka while she strips
[01:03.00] Take it off Take it off all the customers shout
[01:07.07] Down in front Down in front
[01:09.20] while the band beats it out
[01:11.18] But she's always a lady even in pantomime
[01:15.16] So she stops And always just in time
[01:20.43] Queenie Queen of them all
[01:24.60] Queenie someday you'll fall
[01:28.70] Someday church bells will chime
[01:32.49] In strip polka time
[01:54.69] Oh She hates corny waltzes and she hates the gavotte
[01:59.16] And there's one big advantage if the music's hot
[02:03.34] It's a fast moving exit just in case something rips
[02:07.55] So the band plays the polka while she strips
[02:11.74] Drop around take it in it's the best in the west
[02:15.78] Take it off Take it off yell like the rest
[02:20.06] Take her out when it's over
[02:22.12] she's a peach when she's dressed
[02:24.28] But she stops And always just in time
[02:29.25] Queenie Queen of them all
[02:33.52] Queenie someday you'll fall
[02:37.74] Someday the church bells
[02:39.56] the ol' church bells will chime
[02:41.56] In strip polka time
[02:46.99]
