Poker Polka
[FILE, spoken]
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, spoken]
Yeah, we don’t have time for a drink. But we were figurin’ to ask you out to the picnic grounds to play some... poker.
[FILE, spoken]
Poker, huh?
[JIM, spoken]
Yeah — poker!
[H.C.]
Well!
Come on out and play a little poker
Play a little blackjack
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
[H.C., 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, spoken]
You did, huh?
[FILE, spoken]
Sure did, Noah.
[H.C., spoken]
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
[H.C., NOAH & JIM]
Oh, sure is nice to do a little polka
Do a little 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, spoken]
You don't, huh?
[FILE, spoken]
Not if I can help it, Jim.
[JIM, spoken]
Well?
[NOAH, spoken]
Well...
(sung)
Come on out and eat a little beefsteak!
[JIM]
Eat a little ice cream!
[H.C.]
Fresh pickle pigfeet!
[H.C., 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
[ALL]
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
To many picnics
I don’t do
Much fancy dancin'
I don’t play much poker Anymore!
[H.C., NOAH & JIM]
To many picnics
Much fancy dancin'
You don’t play much poker Anymore!
