Beer Barrel Polka

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 a polka
 they all get in the swing:
 Ev'ry time they hear that oom-pa-pa
 Ev'rybody 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
 It's the big surprise they're waiting for
 And all the couples form a ring
 For miles around you'll hear them sing:

 cho:     Roll out the barrel

We'll have a barrel of fun

Roll out the barrel

We've got the blues on the run.

Zing! Boom! Tar-rar-rel

Ring out a song of good cheer!

Now's the time to roll the barrel

For the gang's all here.
