The Kiss Polka

While in a Resort, Glenn Miller and a few friends watched a performance.


Lyrics:

In Sweden and in Norway, they do the cutest dance,
When couples sentimentally inclined would really like to find romance.
In Sweden and in Norway, when concertinas play,
You sing, "Hi-le," you sing, "Hi-lo," your heart is young and gay.
When they "oom-pa-pa" on a "oom-pa-pa," you take her hand and say:

Chorus:

Say, did you ever dance the Kiss (kiss) Polka (kiss, kiss),
You can steal a kiss to this (kiss) polka (kiss, kiss),
She'll be shy when first you try,
Then bye and bye,
She'll say, "Yah, by yumpin' yimminy;"
You should always do the Kiss (kiss) Polka (kiss, kiss),
When there is a lovely moon above,
It's a dance that you'll be wild about,
You kiss, kiss, kiss till you're all kissed out,
It's so much fun when it's done with the one you love.

geez, guys, lighten up. it's just entertainment. I don't think it's meant to be the cultural history of Norway, Sweden or Switzerland.  It's just an sweet, innocent movie about falling in love.

Wow, this is great, anyone know what movie this is?

I also LOL'd at the annotation you put with the lady's face.

It's cinematic fiction : Ask an Austrian if they sing 'Edelweiss' !

Aha, well Sweden is not like Switzerland!

[badisev]

I believe the mixed up Swden and Switzerland. And they thought Norway is like Sweden and therefore like Switzerland ;-). Get it?
