Ieva's Polka
I heard the polka rhytm next doorand it set my soles on fire.Ieva's mom she watched her daughter,but Ieva turned out a liar.No matter what her mother saysas it's time to dance around.
Ieva she wore a smile on her faceas people wished her luck for the day.Everybody had worked up a sweatand the violin kept on moaning late.No matter whether it's boiling or notas it's time to dance around.
Ieva's mom she slipped awayinter her chamber to sing a psalmwhile Ieva and the lad next doorthey had trouble keeping clam.No matter what the old hag saysas it's time to screw around.
After the music the fun began.That's when the pal he messed around.
But at home Ieva's mom picked up a fightand Ieva she cried her eyes out.No matter what the old lady saysas it's time to dance around.
I told Ieva's mom to keep it down,"I ain't gonna beat you up, indeed""You had better head for your chamberand I'll leave you in peace."No matter how gentle I amas it's time to dance around.
I'm gonna be a hard one to trap.I ain't gonna be a sitting duck.You travel to the east and to the west,but Ieva and I won't be out of luck.No matter whether I might be coyas it's time to dance around.
