Strike up the music, the band has begun the Pennsylvania Polka
Pick out your partner and join in the fun, the Pennsylvania Polka
It started in Scranton, it's now number one, it's fun to entertain ya
Everybody has a mania to do the polka from Pennsylvania
While they're dancing, everybody's cares are quickly gone
Sweet romancing, this goes on and on until the dawn
They're so carefree, gay with laughter, happy as can be
They stop to have a beer, then the crowd begins to cheer
They kiss, and then, they start to dance again
While they're dancing all around, everybody's cares are quickly gone
Swee-ee-eet romancing, this goes on and on and on until the dawn
Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha, ha-haa-ha, ha-uh-aa> gay with laughter,
they're happy as can be
They stop to have a beer, then the crowd begins to cheer
They kiss and then
they start to kiss again
Pick your partner and join in the fun, and it's fun to entertain ya
Everybody has a mania to do the polka from Pennsylvania
