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 the polka, they all get in the swing
Every time they hear that oom-pa-pa, everybody 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
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 tararrel, sing out a song of good cheer
Now’s the time to roll the barrel, for the gang’s all here
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
Roll it out, roll it out, roll out the barrel
Dump-dump-da da-da da-dat en da-da-da-da-da
Sing a song of good cheer ‘Cause the whole gang is here
Roll it out, roll it out. Let’s do the beer barrel polka
