|
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
|
