When I met her at the county fair
She was so glum, I longed for her to smile
In an open space beside the concessionaire
I said “come on sullen girl let’s dance awhile”

A band was playing on a nearby stage
And music fell like tiny drops of romance
As people walked on past they started to encourage
A small crowd to watch us polka dance

I triple-step by her
She triple-steps by me
We turn and twirl like a top till we are dizzy
I circle her, opa!
She circles me, opa!
As the music stops she’s laughing in my arms.

I robbed her then! It’s true, I stole a kiss!
Whispering my love into her hair.
The small crowd clapped and whistled at our bliss
The day we danced the polka at the county fair.

I triple-step by her
She triple-steps by me
We turn and twirl like a top till we are dizzy
I circle her, ah!
She circles me, ah!
As the music stops she’s laughing in my arms.

I triple-step by her
She triple-steps by me
We turn and twirl like a top till we are dizzy
I circle her, opa!
She circles me, opa!
As the music stops she’s laughing in my arms.

I triple-step by her
She triple-steps by me
We turn and twirl like a top till we are dizzy
I circle her, opa!
She circles me, opa!
As the music stops she’s laughing in my arms.
As the music stops she’s laughing in my arms.
As the music stops she’s laughing in my arms.
