Lyrics Charlie Daniels

Charlie Daniels

I'll Always Remember That Song

Monday evening the band played the polka

A new lively polka, with a military air

Monday evening the band played the polka, the polka

And my new love and I, we were there

Rum-tum-tum, tiddy dum, tiddy dum

Went the drum

Tiddy dum, tiddy dum

And the squeeze box kept wheezing along

Toot toot toot, doodle oot, doodle oot

Sang the flute

Doddle oot, doodle oot

And I'll always remember the song

Tuesday evening the band played a polka

The same lively polka, we heard the night before

Tuesday evening the band played a polka, a polka

And my new love and I took the floor

Starting slow, off we go

And the squeeze box kept wheezing along

Turn and then, once again

And I'll always remember the song

By Wednesday evening the song had caught on so

That the crowds had grown in size

Come Thursday evening the people in the know

Had begun to harmonize

Harmonize, improvise

And the squeeze box kept wheezing along

Mi mi mi, right on key

And we hardly got any notes wrong

Friday evening they encored the polka

We danced to the polka, the stars were burning bright

Friday evening they encored the polka, the polka

And my new love and I spent the night

And the squeeze box kept wheezing along

And the whole night it kept going strong

That next evening we drank to the polka

We toasted the polka at a neighborhood saloon

That next evening we drank to the polka, the polka

We were two lovers singing in tune

Rum-tum-tum, tiddy dum, tiddy dum

Went the drum

Tiddy dum, tiddy dum

And the squeeze box kept wheezing along

Toot toot toot, doodle oot, doodle oot

Sang the flute

Doddle oot, doodle oot

And I'll always remember the song

I'll always remember the (flute)

And the (kiss), and the (squeeze box)

And the (kiss), and the (drums)

And the (kiss), and the song!
