## Lyrics

### English

Get ready, everybody!

It's Hoop Dee Doo Wiggly Polka Time!

Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo

I hear a polka and my troubles are through

Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Dee

This kind of music is like heaven to me

Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo

It's got me higher than a kite

Hand me down me soup and fish

I am gonna get my wish

Hoop Dee doin' it tonight

When there's a trumpet blowing

Ra ta ta ta da

I get a thrill, Woopee,

I always will

*(Jeff)*

When there's an old accordion,

Stretching out a mile,

I'll always smile, woo-hooh,

'Cause that's my style

*(Here comes Greg)*

When they fiddle in the middle

It really is a riddle

How they play the tune so sweet!

They played the tune so sweet that I could die

*(Murray)*

Oh, lead me to the floor

And hear me yell for more

'Cause I'm a Hoop Dee doin' kind of guy

Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo

Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Dee

Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo

Hoop Dee doin' it tonight

When there's a trumpet blowing,

Ra ta ta ta da

I get a thrill, ha ha,

I always will (woo-hooh)

*(Jeff!)*

When there's an old accordion

Stretching out a mile,

I'll always smile, ha ha,

'Cause that's my style

*(Greg!)*

When they fiddle in the middle,

It really is a riddle

How they play the tune so sweet!

They played the tune so sweet that I could die

*(Here comes Murray!)*

Oh, lead me to the floor

And hear me yell for more

'Cause I'm a Hoop Dee doin' kind of guy

Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo

I hear a polka and my troubles are through

Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Dee

This kind of music is like heaven to me

Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo

It's got me higher than a kite

Hand me down me soup and fish

I am gonna get my wish

Hoop Dee doin' it with all of my might

I'm in clover, I'm in bloom

When I'm dancing, give me room

Hoop Dee doin' it,

Hoop Dee doin' it,

Hoop Dee doin' it tonight!

Yeah!
