Lyrics

Hoop-dee-doo, Hoop-dee-doo
I hear a polka and my troubles are through
Hoop-dee-doo, Hoop-dee-dee
This kind of music is like heaven to me
Hoop-dee-doo, Hoop-dee-doo
It’s got me higher than a kite
Hand me down my soup and fish
I am gonna get my wish
Hoop-dee-doo-in’ it tonight
When there’s a trombone playin’
Rah-ta dah-dah-dah
I get a thrill, I always will
When there’s a concertina
Stretchin’ out a mile I always smile
‘Cause that’s my style
When there’s a fiddle in the middle
And he plays the tune so sweet
Plays the tune so sweet
That I could die
Lead me to the floor
And hear me yell for more
‘Cause I’m a hoop-dee-doo-in’ kind of guy
I’m in clover I’m in bloom
When I’m dancin’ give me room
Hoop-dee-doo-in’ it with all of my might
Rain may fall and snow may come
Nothin’s gonna stop me from
Hoop-dee-doo-in’ it tonight
