Wallflower, wallflower, by and by
Growing up the wall so high
We're all fools and we must die
Excepting Mary, she can sing
Oh she can do the Highland Fling
My brother John says he will cry
If he can't get the girl with the bonny brown eye
He bites his nails, he tells lies
Tip to the heel my darling
If I had a gun and the gun was loaded
Pulled the trigger and it exploded
No more me, no more gun
No more dancing to be done
Tip to the heel and tip to the toes
That's the way our polka goes
Bibbity, babbity, bee-baw babbity
Tip to the heel and tip to the toes
Bibbity, babbity, lassie or a laddy
Oh that's the way the polka goes
That's the way, that's the way the polka goes
I have a bonnet trimmed with blue
Do I wear it? Yes I do
Always wear it when I can
Going to the ball with my young man
Where we tip to the heel and tip to the toes
That's the way our polka goes
Growing up the wall so high
We're all fools and we must die
Except for Mary, she can sing oh
She can do the Highland Fling oh
Bibbity, babbity, bee-baw babbity
Tip to the heel and tip to the toes
Bibbity, babbity, lassie or a laddy
Oh that's the way the Polka goes
That's the way the polka goes
