- Strike up the music, the
band has begun,
The Pennsylvana Polka.
Pick out your partner and join in the fun,
The Pennsylvana Polka.
- It started in Scranton,

It's bound to entertain ya.
Ev'rybody has a mania,
- To do the Polka from Pennsylvania.
-
- Interlude:
- (No words)
While they're dancing,
- Ev'rybody's cares are quickly
gone.
- Sweet romancing,
- This goes on and on until
the dawn.
- They're so care free,
- Gay with laughter, happy
as can be.
- They stop to have a beer,
then the crowd begins to cheer,
- They kiss and then they
start to dance again.
