[Verse 1]
G
At the Raceway Park in Toledo
G Em
In the summer of '74
Am D
Billy K. said I didn't have it in me
D G
So I marched right across the floor
D G
And the band played "Who Stole the Keeshka?"
G C*
And your emerald eyes shone bright
C C G
And with a wink to Billy K., I turned to you to say
G D G
Hey Vicki, let's polka tonight!
[Verse 2]
G
Do you remember the Brighton Beach hotdogs?
G Em
Do you remember the Rhode Island Reds?
Am D
Remember the night at Kochanski's
D G
When they put that golden crown on your head?
D G
We saw Frankie in old Cincinnati
G C*
Underneath those big blue lights
C C G
And when your skies were turning grey, I'd turn to you to say
G D G
Hey Vicki, let's polka tonight
[Verse 3]
D G
And the years rolled on so sweetly
G Em
But the music around us changed
Am D
And when our kids felt lonesome and empty
D G
We said "You've only that music to blame"
G
We knew that fashions rise and fall, dear
G C*
But polka will never die
C C G
And soon enough they surely knew, they'd be standing before you
G D G
Saying Vicki, let's polka tonight
[Verse 4]
G
Then came the year of our Lord, 2020
G Em
We didn't know it would happen so soon
Am D
They wouldn't let me say goodbye to you
D G
They wouldn't even let me into the room
D G
And now my days are finally over
G C*
And I'm heading for those pearly lights
Am Am G Abm
I'll know I'm in the proper place when I see your pretty face
C D G
Hey Vicki, let's polka tonight
