Poker Polka

Lyrics
[FILE, spoken] I 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 high-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 foxtrot, 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 dancing 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... [NOAH] Come on out and eat a little beefsteak [JIM] Eat a little ice cream [H.C.] Fresh pickled 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 [FILE, H.C., NOAH & JIM] Oh, sure is nice to eat a little chili Eat a little mess of turnip greens [FILE] When I eat, it makes me sleep And then I start to snore So I don't go [FILE, H.C., NOAH & JIM] To many picnics [FILE] I don't do [FILE, H.C., NOAH & JIM] Much fancy dancin' [FILE, H.C., NOAH & JIM] I don't play much poker Anymore! (You don't play much poker anymore!)
