Strip Polka Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Mercer

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
