Papa won't you dance with me
Oh dance with me, please dance with me
Papa take a chance with me

And dance with me tonight

And when you whirl me

Round and round we'll go
Right off the ground we'll go
Around and round we'll go

We'll hear those trombones slidin' high
We'll both be glidin' high
Up in the sky, I love the polka


Papa won't you dance with me
Oh dance with me, please dance with me

When you hold me, hold me tight
Oh papa won't you dance with me tonight


(Orchestral Interlude)

Papa won't you dance with me

Oh dance with me, please dance with me
Papa take a chance with me
And dance with me tonight


And when you whirl me
Round and round we'll go

Right off the ground we'll go
Around and round we'll go
We'll hear those trombones slidin' high

We'll both be glidin' high
Up in the sky, I love the polka


Papa won't you dance with me
Oh dance with me, please dance with me
When you hold me, hold me tight

Oh papa won't you dance with me
Papa won't you dance with me
I said dance with me tonight.
