The Dreadnoughts - Vicki's Polka
At the Raceway Park in Toledo
In the summer of '74
Billy K said I didn't have it in me
So I marched right across the floor
And the band played who stole the keeshka
And your emerald eyes shone bright
And with a wink to Billy K
I turned to you to say
Hey Vicki, let's polka tonight
Do you remember Brighton Beach hot dogs?
Do you remember the Rhode Island Reds?
Do you remember that night at Kochanski's
When they put a golden crown on your head
We saw Frankie in old Cincinnati
Under those big blue lights
And when your skies were grey
I'd turn to you to say
Hey Vicki, let's polka tonight
(c'mon girl!)
And the years rolled on so sweetly
But the music around us changed
And when our kids felt sad and lonely
I said you've only that music to blame
Because fashions rise and fall, dear
But polka will never die
And soon enough we knew
They'd stand in front of you
Saying vicki, let's polka tonight
Then came the year of our lord 2020
We didn't know it would happen so soon
They wouldn't let me say goodbye to you
They wouldn't even let me into the room
But now my days are nearly over
And I'm heading for those pearly lights
I'll know I'm IN the proper place
When I SEE your pretty face
hey Vicki, let's polka tonight
