HIM: 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 No 1
It’s bound to entertain you
Everybody has a mania
To do the polka from Pennsylvania

HER: While they’re dancing

HIM: Everybody’s cares are quickly gone

HER: Sweet romancing

HIM This goes on and on until the dawn

HER: They’re so carefree

HIM: 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.
