The Lyrics:
They're tuning up the fiddles now
The fiddles now, the fiddles now
There's wine to warm the middles now
And set your head awhirl.
Around and round the room we go
The room we go, the room we go
Around and round the room we go,
So get yourself a girl.
Now ev'ry heart will start to tingle,
When sleigh bells jingle on Santa's sleigh
Together we will greet Kris Kringle
And another Christmas Day.
Come on and dance the merry Christmas polka
Let ev'ryone be happy and gay
Oh, it's the time to be jolly and deck the halls with holly
So let's have a jolly holiday
Come on and dance the merry Christmas polka
Another joyous season has begun
Roll out the Yuletide barrels and sing out the carols,
A merry Christmas ev'ryone!
Come on and dance the merry Christmas polka
Let ev'ry lady step with her beau
Around a tree to the ceiling with lots of time for stealing
Those kisses beneath the mistletoe.
Come on an dance the merry Christmas polka
With ev'rybody joining in the fun
Roll out the barrels that cheer you,
And shout till they hear you,
A merry Christmas ev'ryone!
