lyrics

A World Without Polka J. Woodard

There is something so cold and so bleak
About a world without polka
You can keep your cheek-to-cheek
We'll polka 'til the break of day
This world is like a dizzy puzzle
The pieces fit together
On the table, if you're able
Find the logic--that's the polka

There is something so bitter and so sweet
About the world within polka
It's not only music, don't refuse it
Accordions are phones from heaven
Grab your glib and swanky partner
Head down to the Lodge
Where joints are lubed and limbs are loose
That's the high life--that's the polka

BRIDGE
In a world without polka, there's no reason to believe
We're lumbering through mazes, suffering through crazes
In a world without polka, it's a paler shade of white
The scenic routes have all been closed, the beer's out for the night

There is something so tender and dear
About a room chock full of polka
You bind your feet to bouncing beats
Dance your way to polka heaven
