Lyrics
I heard the polka rhythm next door, and it set my soles on fire
Ieva's mom she watched her daughter but Ieva turned out a liar
No matter what her mother says, it's time to dance around
Ieva she wore a smile on her face, as people wished her luck for the day
Everybody had worked up a sweat and the violin kept on moaning late
No matter whether it's boiling or not, it's time to dance around
Ieva's mom, she slipped away into her chamber to sing a psalm
While Ieva and the lad next door, they had trouble keeping calm
No matter what the old hag says, it's time to screw around
No matter what the old hag says, it's time to screw around
After the music, the fun began, that's when the pal he messed around
But at home Ieva's mom picked up a fight and Ieva she cried her eyes out
No matter what the old lady say as it's time to dance around
No matter what the old lady say as it's time to dance around
I told Ieva's mom to keep it down, "I ain't gonna beat you up, indeed"
"You better head for your chamber, and I'll leave you in peace"
No matter how gentle I am, it's time to dance around
No matter how gentle I am, it's time to dance around
I'm gonna be a hard one to trap, I ain't gonna be a sitting duck
You travel to the east and to the west, but Ieva and I won't be out of luck
No matter whether I might be coy, it's time to dance around
