[00:12.70]There's a burlesque theatre where the gang loves to go
[00:16.88]To see Queenie the cutie of the burlesque show
[00:21.00]And the thrill of the evening is when out Queenie skips
[00:25.12]And the band plays the polka while she strips
[00:29.16]"Take it off"  "Take it off"  Cries a voice from the rear
[00:33.24]"Take it off"  "Take it off"  Soon it's all you can hear
[00:37.24]But she's always a lady even in pantomime
[00:41.28]So she stops! And always just in time
[00:45.24]She's as fresh and as wholesome as the flowers in May
[00:49.38]And she hopes to retire to the farm someday
[00:53.23]But you can't buy a farm until you're up in the chips
[00:57.49]So the band plays the polka while she strips
[01:01.54]"Take it off" "Take it off"  all the customers shout,
[01:05.55]"Down in front"  "Down in front"  while the band beats it out
[01:09.63]But she's always a lady even in pantomime
[01:13.63]So she stops! And always just in time
[01:18.21]Queenie, Queen of them all
[01:22.73]Queenie, someday you'll fall
[01:26.81]Someday church bells will chime
[01:30.31]In strip polka time
[01:33.85]
[01:51.93]Oh! She hates corny waltzes and she hates the gavotte
[01:56.21]And there's one big advantage if the music's hot
[02:00.32]It's a fast moving exit just in case something rips
[02:04.44]So the band plays the polka while she strips
[02:08.56]Drop around, take it in, it's the best in the west
[02:12.70]"Take it off"  "Take it off"  yell like the rest
[02:16.82]Take her out when it's over,  she's a peach when she's dressed
[02:20.92]But she stops! And always just in time
[02:25.58]Queenie, Queen of them all
[02:29.77]Queenie, someday you'll fall
[02:34.05]Someday the church bells will chime,  the ol' church bells will chime
[02:37.84]In strip polka time
