| 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 |
