🎵 Livin’ La Vida Polka

Intro (spoken, hype) HEY! Grab your partner! If you don’t have one—borrow somebody’s uncle! ONE—TWO—THREE—GO! Verse 1 🎶 She spins him left, she spins him right Kitchen tiles become a flight Grandma’s laughing, table’s gone Someone’s shoe is moving on There’s a fiddle in the hall A tuba shaking up the wall You think you’ll rest? Not here today The beat says dance, you must obey Pre-Chorus 🎶 Once it starts you can’t escape Your knees accept their chosen fate You came for food, you came for wine Now clap in perfect polka time Chorus 🎶 She’s livin’ la vida polka HEY! Push and pull and spin it faster She’s livin’ la vida polka HEY! Blink once and you’re a master She’ll make you stomp, she’ll make you shout Your soul will oom-pah inside out She’s livin’ la vida polka HEY! ONE MORE TIME—EVERYBODY! Verse 2 🎶 Suspenders snapping, buttons fly Aunt Marie is airborne—why? Someone yells “AGAIN!” real loud Suddenly you’re in the crowd The floor is sweat, the joy is real Your calves now know how passion feels You swore you’d sit, you swore you’d chill Too late—the accordion wills Pre-Chorus 🎶 Left foot stomp and right foot spin You don’t know how—but you’re all in Your heartbeat joins the tuba line Congratulations—this is life Chorus 🎶 She’s livin’ la vida polka HEY! Round and round till time collapses She’s livin’ la vida polka HEY! Even introverts do lapses She’ll steal your breath, she’ll steal your chair You’ll clap like you’ve always been there She’s livin’ la vida polka HEY! AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN! Bridge (breakdown, spoken + chant) 🎶 WHO NEEDS A BREAK? (NO!) WHO NEEDS A CHAIR? (NO!) WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS OPTIONAL? (YOU WERE WRONG!) 🎶 accordion solo goes feral Final Chorus (key change, obviously) 🎶 She’s livin’ la vida polka HEY! Spin it faster, don’t ask why She’s livin’ la vida polka HEY! If you fall down—clap and try Hands up high, feet obey Oom-pah truth will show the way She’s livin’ la vida polka HEY! HEY! HEY! Outro 🎶 (crowd chanting) POL-KA! POL-KA! POL-KA! (accordion final flourish, tuba HONK)
