Verse:

In Sweden and in Norway, they do the cutest dance,
When couples sentimentally inclined would really like to find romance.
In Sweden and in Norway, when concertinas play,
You sing, "Hi-le," you sing, "Hi-lo," your heart is young and gay.
When they "oom-pa-pa" on a "oom-pa-pa," you take her hand and say:

Chorus:

Say, did you ever dance the Kiss (kiss) Polka (kiss, kiss),
You can steal a kiss to this (kiss) polka (kiss, kiss),
She'll be shy when first you try,
Then bye and bye,
She'll say, "Yah, by yumpin' yimminy;"
You should always do the Kiss (kiss) Polka (kiss, kiss),
When there is a lovely moon above,
It's a dance that you'll be wild about,
You kiss, kiss, kiss till you're all kissed out,
It's so much fun when it's done with the one you love.
