Well, there is a garden
And happy faces bloom there
There's never any room there
for worry or gloom there
There's music and dancing
And a lot of sweet romancing
When they play the polka
We all get in the swing

Every time we hear that humpapa
Everybody feels so tra-la-la
We want to throw our cares away
We all go ladi-jadi-jee
Then we hear a rumble on the floor
It's the big surprise we'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 tararrel
Ring out a song of the cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel
For the gangs together here

I found my sweet love there
Her lips are oh, so tender
I'm going to surrender
My heart and my soul there
We're laughing and dancing
With a lot of sweet romancing
When we hear the polka
We both get in the swing

Every time we hear that humpapa
Everybody feels so tra-la-la
We want to throw our cares away
We all go ladi-jadi-jee
Then we here a rumble on the floor
It's the big surprise we'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 tararrel
Ring out a song of the cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel
For the gangs together here

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 tararrel
Ring out a song of the cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel
For the gangs together here
