There's a burlesque theatre where the gang loves to go
 To see Queenie the cutie of the burlesque show
 And the thrill of the evening is when out Queenie skips
 And the band plays the polka while she strips

 "Take it off," "Take it off" Cries a voice from the rear
 "Take it off," Take it off" Soon it's all you can hear
 But she's always a lady even in pantomime
 So she stops! And always just in time

 She's as fresh and as wholesome as the flowers in May
 And she hopes to retire to the farm someday
 But you can't buy a farm until you're up in the chips
 So the band plays the polka while she strips

 "Take it off," "Take it off" all the customers shout,
 "Down in front" "Down in front" while the band beats it out
 But she's always a lady even in pantomime
 So she stops! And always just in time

 Queenie, Queen of them all
 Queenie, someday you'll fall
 Someday church bells will chime
 In strip polka time

 Oh! She hates corny waltzes and she hates the gavotte
 And there's one big advantage if the music's hot
 It's a fast moving exit just in case something rips
 So the band plays the polka while she strips

 Drop around, take it in, it's the best in the west
 "Take it off," "Take it off" yell like the rest
 Take her out when it's over, she's a peach when she's dressed
 But she stops! And always just in time

 Queenie, Queen of them all
 Queenie, someday you'll fall
 Someday the church bells will chime, the ol' church bells will chime
 In strip polka time
