When they played the polka Songtext

von Sammy Kaye

When they played the polka

(spoken)
With the Glee Club as a background
Here are - The Three Barons

When they played the polka, polka, polka
She took me by the hand
Kissed me and
We did the polka, polka, polka
To happy music
Of the village band

How can I forget
The vow we made
The happy day
The music gay
I recall the way she danced
And how I chanced to meet her

When they played the polka, polka, polka
I knew that I'd return
For I yearned
To do the polka, polka, polka
Until her charms
Are in my arms again

I was lonely
She was lovely
Peasant music filled the air
Then lonely me and lovely she
Knew fate had mated us
As a perfect pair

I was gay there
Longed to stay there
In that village plain and free
But now she's gone
And I live on
That happy memory

When they played the polka, polka, polka
She took me by the hand
Kissed me and
We did the polka, polka, polka
To happy music
Of the village band

How can I forget
The vow we made
The happy day
The music gay
I recall the way she danced
And how I chanced to meet her

When they played the polka, polka, polka
I knew that I'd return
For I yearned
To do the polka, polka, polka
Until her charms
Are in my arms again

And we'll dance, dance the polka

Hey!
