Dottie learned to hop hanging from her mama's apron strings
It wasn't long till she learned how to really swing
Jaromir and Frankie playing on the radio
The music pulled her in just like an undertow

Hey Ho - it make her happy - let's go and do the polka Dottie
Hey Hoh - its a party - let's go and do the polka Dottie

Dottie practiced polka any time she had the chance
bedroom schoolyard weddings boy did she love to dance
She became a dark-eyed beauty - yeah she looked so smart
on the dance floor she met the man who won her heart

Hey Ho - it make her happy - let's go and do the polka Dottie
Hey Ho - its a party - let's go and do the polka Dottie

[Musical Bridge]

Hey Ho - everybody - let's go and do the polka Dottie
Hey Ho - its a party - let's go and do the polka Dottie

The years rolled by and Dottie's grown her own family tree
three generations of dancers with a polka pedigree
She's lost her jump so she may not be out polka hoppin'
but she still out there dancing yeah her feet ain't stoppin'

Hey Ho - it make her happy - let's go and do the polka Dottie
Hey Hoh - its a party - let's go and do the polka Dottie

Hey Ho - everybody - let's go and do the polka Dottie
Hey Ho - its a party - let's go and do the polka Dottie
