Lalalalalalalala

lalalalalalalaLA!

The sound of a polka

drifted from my neighbor's

And set my feet a tapping oh!

Ieva's mother had her

eye on her daughter but

Ieva she managed to fool her, you know.

'Cause who's going to

listen to mother saying no

When we're all busy dancing to and fro!

Ieva was smiling, the

fiddle it was wailing

As people crowded round

to wish her luck.

Everyone was hot but it

didn't seem to bother

The handsome young

man, the dashing buck.

'Cause who's going to

mind a drop of sweat

When he's all busy dancing to and fro!

Ieva's mother she shut herself away

In her own quiet room to hum a hymn.

Leaving our hero to have a spot of fun

In a neighbor's house

when the lights are dim.

'Cause what does it matter

what the old folks say

When you're all busy dancing to and fro!

When the music stopped

then the real fun began

And that's when the

laddie fooled around.

When he took her home,

when the dancing was over

Her mother angrily waiting they found.

But I said to her, Ieva,

now don't you weep

And we'll soon be dancing to and fro!

I said to her mother now stop that noise

Or I won't be responsible for what I do.

If you go quietly and stay in your room

You won't get hurt while

your daughter I woo.

'Cause this fine laddie

is a wild sort of guy

When he's all busy dancing to and fro!

One thing I tell you

is you won't trap me,

No, you won't find me an easy catch.

Travel to the east and

travel to the west but

Ieva and I are going to make a match.

'Cause this fine laddie

ain't the bashful sort

When he's all busy dancing to and fro
