Demo[]
This is the North Pole Polka and it's lots of fun
Let's do the North Pole Polka leave for midnight sun
Up and down, here and go, round and round we go
Dancing to the North Pole Polka
The Northern Light are beating gleaming in the sky
A million rays so streaming right before your eyes
All of the world's a happy rhyme just like Christmas time
When you do the North Pole Polka
While a chorus of walrus sing in harmony
Polar bears and seals are kicking up their heels
Then to add the din, all the penguins join in
Flapping their wings with glee

Everyone: Though the wolf and bear are blessed with fur to spare
And walruses and seals are quilted to their heels
We quite freely admit that we shiver a bit
When the icy breezes blow
To keep warm in a blizzard or a storm
We do the North Pole Polka all the winter through
We do the North Pole Polka to keep from turning blue
Up and down and heel and toe
Round and round we go
Bouncing to the North Pole Polka
It's done with vim and vigor, throw yourself about
It's splendid for the figure when you go all out
Stamp your feet and bend your knees
If you don't, you'll freeze
That's why we do the North Pole Polka
Bob: We don't do the do The Vilouet
We haven't learned it yet
Jeff: And we'd rather not do Vock
Or do the schottische
Kate: In the land of ice and snow
The waltz is much too slow
Everyone: But there's a dance each Eskimo
Is sure to know
We do the North Pole Polka
Let's do the North Pole Polka
Up and down and heel and toe
Round and round we go
Bouncing to the North Pole Polka
The Northern Lights are gleaming, beaming in the sky
A million rainbows streaming right before your eyes
All of the world's in happy rhyme just like Christmas time
When you do the North Pole Polka
