Allright, so we rocked and rolled, we swung a little
We did a jig and maybe a reel
But listen, now it's Polka Time!
My friend Johnny Cleveland says he feels his
Life's a big baloney and dirt sandwich
Phony chances, girls who leave him
I said well Johnny, now, we can't let our jukebox just play the blues
What I do is picture myself out on the floor in my most comfortable shoes
Aw, well I say that:
Life is a polka and I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
Life is a polka I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
Johnny says nice try but since last night I made thirteen phone calls
No one's called me back or loved me back, that's none at all
Well that's how it is, Johnny some of our partners got two left feet
But they'll never know the great dancer you are if you stay glued to your seat
Aw get out there cause
Life is a polka and I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
Life is a polka I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
Stuck in the corner you can't dance, dance, dance
Crouched in horror you can't dance, dance, dance
You're gonna miss it you gotta risk it
Can't win the Lotto 'til you take a chance, chance, chance, chance
Johnny says: "You're right I danced last night and boy, oh boy
It's like I walked on air like Fred Astaire, man, I held the spotlight
Aw, sweet Johnny- so glad to see you boogaloo
While we're out here could ya teach us a step or two?
Ow, this crazy
Life is a polka and I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
Life is a polka and I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
