Polka, happy

1. Never anything so lovely as happened here again.
Could be so enjoyable among us all again.
It gives us joy when the band plays a few stanzas of love.
It gives us joy when the band plays a few stanzas of love.
Life is good whenever we’re dancing merrily.
Life is good whenever we’re dancing merrily.

2. Never so ever have I fallen in love like this,
As this evening with you when setting eyes on you.
It gives us joy when the band plays a few stanzas of love.
It gives us joy when the band plays a few stanzas of love.
Life is good whenever we’re dancing merrily.
Life is good whenever we’re dancing merrily.
