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
