[Intro]
Oh de lay-ee-oh
Oh de lay-ee-ay
Lay-ee lay-ee lay-ee
[Verse 1]
In a little town in Tennesee among the mountains high
Lived a very handsome boy who had a twinkle in his eye
How he loved to do the polka and make all the girlies sigh
With his yo-de-lay-ee oh-de-lay-ee hee
[Chorus]
One, two, whirl and a yo-de-lay-ee hee
A boy and a girl and a yo-de-lay-ee hee
One, two, twirl and a yo-de-lay-ee hee
Is all you need to do the polka
[Verse 2]
In this little town in Tennesee among the mountains high
Lived a backwoods miss who also was quite charming to the eye
As she danced among the mountains all day long you'd hear her cry
With her yo-de-lay-ee oh-de-lo-oh-oh dee
[Chorus]
One, two, whirl and a yo-de-lay-ee hee
A boy and a girl and a yo-de-lay-ee hee
One, two, twirl and a yo-de-lay-ee hee
Is all you need to do the polka
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
One, two, whirl and a yo-de-lay-ee hee
A boy and a girl and a yo-de-lay-ee hee
One, two, twirl and a yo-de-lay-ee hee
Is all you need to do the polka
[Outro]
Oh-de-lay-ee oh-de-lo-oh dee
Oh-oh-oh de-ay
Yo-de-lo-oh-ay oh-ee-ay-ay too le-oh
Oh-oh-de-ay
Yo-de-lay-ee te-oh
Yo-de-lay-ee-oo-oo-oo
Oh-de-oh-lay
