Oh sure the world has all gone mad The lean and the fat the gay and the sad I swear such a pleasure they never have had Since doing the original Polka-O co*k up your right leg so Balance on your big left toe Stamp your heels and off we go Doing the original Polka-O Now Jullien's arrived from France To teach the English how to dance And fill his pockets given half a chance Plus doing the original Polka-O Professors they swarm in every street Grinding barrel-organs sweet And every friend that you chance to meet Is doing the original Polka-O co*k up your right leg so Balance on your big left toe Stamp your heels and off we go Doing the original Polka-O Quadrille some more says old (duway?) But Jullien's Polka wins the day A tune (this sweeps?) on the first of May Will be doing the original Polka-O You pretty girls (yin-yans?) to me With sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks Says she Young man let's have a treat By doing the original Polka-O co*k up your right leg so Balance on your big left toe Stamp your heels and off we go Doing the original Polka-O Then dance the Fanny Elslet came Fresh from her Atlantic plane So she all steps have a German name You're doing the Bohemian Polka-O Round and round the ball she danced With those short skirts she caused a glance Whenever she skipped her red heels clicked She was doing the original Polka-O co*k up your right leg so Balance on your big left toe Stamp your heels and off we go Doing the original Polka-O co*k up your right leg so Balance on your big left toe Stamp your heels and off we go Doing the original Polka-O A lady who lives in this town Went out and bought a Polka gown And for that girl she paid five pounds For doing the original Polka-O Going to the ball one night Madam she got in a dreadful fright She tumbled down and ruined her gown By doing the original Polka-O co*k up your right leg so Balance on your big left toe Stamp your heels and off we go Doing the original Polka-O Queen Victoria loves to dance She'd kick her heels and away she'd prance And (Pa**more?) given half a chance Doing the original Polka-O And now my song is nearly closed A secret fact I will disclose Prince Albert's feet won't do as they're told When doing the original Polka-O co*k up your right leg so Balance on your big left toe Stamp your heels and off we go Doing the original Polka-O Oh sure the world has all gone mad The lean and the fat the gay and the sad I swear such a pleasure they never have had Since doing the original Polka-O co*k up your right leg so Balance on your big left toe Stamp your heels and off we go Doing the original Polka-O
