Poker Polka Song Lyrics

FILE
Well, guess I’ll have to say no to the lunch, boys.
But, I’ll be glad to come along and have a drink with you.

NOAH
Yeah, we don’t have time for a drink.
But we were figurin’ to ask youout to the picnic grounds—to play some poker.

FILE
Poker, huh?

JIM
Yeah—poker!

HC
Well…
Come on out and play a little poker
Play a little black-jack, spit-in-the-ocean.
Come on out and play a little hi-low.
Why don’t you come and have some fun?

FILE
Must admit I’m pretty good at poker.
Seems I got a poker face.
Must admit I’m pretty good at bluffin’
When I get that extra ace.

HC & NOAH & JIM
Oh, sure is nice to play a little poker.
Take a little chance and shoot-the-moon!

FILE
But once I start, I just can’t stop
Until I’m broke and so—
I gave up poker long ago.

NOAH
You did, huh?

FILE
Sure did, Noah.

HC
Well—

JIM
Oh, come on out and do a little two-step,
Do a little fox-trot, kick up a rumpus.
Come on out and do a little polka.
Why don’t you come and have some fun?

FILE
Must admit I’m pretty good at dancin’
Seems my feet know what to do.
Must admit I’m pretty good at movin’
When I’ve had a drink or two.

HC & NOAH & JIM
Oh, sure is nice to do a little polka.
Do a kick and one-two-three!

FILE
But when I dance, my feet swell up,
And since they get so sore,
I don’t go dancin’ anymore.

JIM
You don’t, huh?

FILE
Not if I can help it, Jim.

JIM
Well…

NOAH
Well…
Come on out and eat a little beefsteak!

JIM
Eat a little ice cream!

HC
Fresh picked pigfeet!

HC & NOAH & JIM
Come on out and eat a little chili!
Why don’t you come and have some lunch?

FILE
Nothin’ I like any more than eatin’.
Now you’re reachin’ me all right.
I can use a twenty pound beefsteak
Just to whet my appetite.

HC & NOAH & JIM
Oh, sure is nice to eat a little chili.
Eat a little mess of turnip greens!

FILE
But when I eat, it makes me sleep,
And then I start to snore.
So I don’t go

HC & NOAH & JIM
To many picnics.

FILE
I don’t do

HC & NOAH & JIM
Much fancy dancin’.

FILE
I don’t play much poker anymore.

HC & NOAH & JIM
You don’t play much poker anymore.
