Beer Barrel Polka Songtext
von Merle Travis

There′s a garden, what a garden
Only happy faces bloom there
And there's never any room there
For a worry or a gloom there

Oh there′s music and there's dancing
And a lot of sweet romancing
When they play the polka
They all get in the swing

Every time they hear that oom-pa-pa
Everybody feels so tra-la-la
They want to throw their cares away
They all go lah-de-ah-de-ay


Then they hear a rumble on the floor, the floor
It's the big surprise they′re waiting for
And all the couples form a ring
For miles around you′ll hear them sing

Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel, we′ve got the blues on the run
Sing boom tararra, ring out a song of good cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang′s all here

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Then they hear a rumble on the floor-or-or-or
It's the big surprise they′re waiting for
And all the couples they form a ring
For miles around you'll hear them sing

Drree mopado theedo da-da-da-da


Roll it out, roll it out, roll out the barrel
Da-da-da da-da da-da da-da-da-da-da
Sing a song of good cheer
'Cause the whole gang is here
Roll it out, roll it out
Let′s do the beer barrel polka
