[Verse 1]
I heard the [Dm]polka rhytm next door
And it [C]set my soles on [Dm]fire
Ieva's mom she watched her daughter
[C]But Ieva turned out a [Dm]liar
No [Am]matter what her [C]mother says
As it's time to [Dm]dance [Am]around[C][Dm]
[Am][C][Dm][Am][C]
[Dm]
Ieva she wore a smile on her face
As [C]people wished her
[Dm]luck for the day
Everybody had worked up a sweat
And the [C]violin kept on [Dm]moaning late
No [Am]matter whether it's [C]boiling or not
As it's time to [Dm]dance [Am]around[C][Dm][Am][C]
[Dm][Am]
[C][Dm][Am][C][Dm]
[Am][C][Dm]
Ieva's mom she slipped away
In[C]ter her chamber to [Dm]sing a psalm
While Ieva and the lad next door
[C]They had trouble [Dm]keeping clam
No [Am]matter what the [C]old hag says
As it's time to [Dm]screw [Am]arou[C]nd[Dm][Am][C]
[Dm][Am][C][Dm][Am]
[C][Dm][Am][C][Dm]
After the music the fun began
That's [C]when the pal he [Dm]messed around
But at home Ieva's mom
picked up a fight
[C]And Ieva she cried her [Dm]eyes out
No [Am]matter what the [C]old lady [Dm]says[Am]
[C]As it's time to dan[Dm]ce aro[Am]und[C][Dm]
[Am][C][Dm][Am][C]
[Dm][Am][C]
[Dm]I told Ieva's mom to keep it down
"I [C]ain't gonna beat you [Dm]up, indeed"
"You had better head for your chamber
And [C]I'll leave [Dm]you in peace"
No [Am]matter how gentle [C]I am
As it's time to [Dm]dance [Am]arou[C]nd[Dm][Am][C]
[Dm]
[Am][C][Dm][Am][C]
[Dm][Am][C][Dm]
I'm gonna be a [Am]hard one to trap
I ain't gonna be a [Dm]sit ting duck
You travel to the east and to the west
[Am]But Ieva and I won't b[Dm]e out of luck
No [Am]matter whether I [C]might be coy
As it's time to [Dm]dance [Am]around
