Strip Polka

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
