<b>Beer Barrel Polka</b> by <i>Will Glahe</i><br />

Beer Barrel Polka (Roll Out The Barrel)

- written by Lew Brown, Wladimir A. Timm, Vasek Zeman and Jaromir Vejvoda

- translated from Czech, it's original title was "Skoda Lasky" (Unrequited Love)

- as recorded by The Andrews Sisters May 3, 1939

There's a garden, what a garden

Only happy faces bloom there

And there's never any room there

For a worry or a gloom there

Oh there's music and there's dancing

And a lot of sweet romancing

When they play the polka

They all get in the swing

Every time they hear that oom-pa-pa

Everybody feels so tra-la-la

They want to throw their cares away

They all go lah-de-ah-de-ay

Then they hear a rumble on the floor, the floor

It's the big surprise they're waiting for

And all the couples form a ring

For miles around you'll hear them sing...

Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun

Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run

Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer

Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang's all here

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Then they hear a rumble on the floor-or-or-or

It's the big surprise they're waiting for

And all the couples they form a ring

For miles around you'll hear them sing

Drree mopado theedo da-da-da-da

----- instrumental break -----

Roll it out, roll it out, roll out the barrel

Da-da-da da-da da-da da-da-da-da-da

Sing a song of good cheer

'Cause the whole gang is here

Roll it out, roll it out

Let's do the beer barrel polka
