Play For Me One Polka

Lyrics

[Verse 1] His name was old Lee Swanson He came down from Wisconsin He settled on the banks of the Rio Grande And there he met Chiquita a smiling senorita Decided he would win her heart and hand [Verse 2] But he never got the chance to ever hold her tight 'Cause she went to the dance almost every night And they never played a polka All he could do was polka So it almost broke his heart in two And while thе band was playing She was whirling, twirling, swaying Lee Swanson he would sit alone so bluе Then he couldn't stand no more So he took Chiquita's hand And yelled out from the floor to the leader of the band [Chorus 1] He said now play for me one polka, one polka play for me Play for me one polka I'll be happy as can be 'Cause I can't do the square-dance, or do the one-step too So play for me one polka mister, that's all I can do [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Now he's a happy padre, and she's a happy madre With their muchachos uno, dos and tres And at his rancho grande every day is fine and dandy They do the polka all around the place And for miles around they tell how he won Chiquita's hand And how he yelled to the leader of the band [Chorus 2] He said now play for me one polka, one polka play for me Play for me one polka I'll be happy as can be 'Cause I can't do those waltzes, or do the two-step too So play for me one polka mister, that's all I can do
