Timm, Vasek Zeman and Jaromir Vejvoda- translated from Czech, it's original title was "Skoda Lasky" (Unrequited Love)- as recorded by The Andrews Sisters May 3, 1939There's a garden, what a gardenOnly happy faces bloom thereAnd there's never any room thereFor a worry or a gloom thereOh there's music and there's dancingAnd a lot of sweet romancingWhen they play the polkaThey all get in the swingEvery time they hear that oom-pa-paEverybody feels so tra-la-laThey want to throw their cares awayThey all go lah-de-ah-de-ayThen they hear a rumble on the floor, the floorIt's the big surprise they're waiting forAnd all the couples form a ringFor miles around you'll hear them sing... Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang's all hereDa-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-daThen they hear a rumble on the floor-or-or-orIt's the big surprise they're waiting forAnd all the couples they form a ringFor miles around you'll hear them singDrree mopado theedo da-da-da-da----- instrumental break -----Roll it out, roll it out, roll out the barrelDa-da-da da-da da-da da-da-da-da-daSing a song of good cheer'Cause the whole gang is hereRoll it out, roll it outLet's do the beer barrel polka
