The Tutti Polka

Pierce-Beach Music, BMI
She comes from Liechtensteiner
That’s a town in Pennsylvania
Her friends call her Helena
But, Julyda is her name
She works down at the brewery
She’s rolling out the barrels
She makes my heart go tick-tock
When she plays the clarinet
She plays my favorite polkas
I can name them all
She plays them every day and night
Through Winter, Spring and Fall
The best one is the Tutti
She can play it hot
Just because she has
What no one else has got
Instrumental (A-E)
She doesn’t give a hoop-dee-doo
For swing or rock and roll
I know that she’s too smart for me
And she’s never heard a waltz
She serves me beer from Heaven
With some pretzels and a brat
Yeah, she’s my little keeska
When she plays the clarinet
**chorus **
She loves to dance the schottische
With all the Legionnaires
She always keeps them laughing
As they march to victory
She's like a ballerina
Always stepping high
She's my little daisy
When she plays the clarinet.
