New York Girls Lyrics

It is St. Patrickâ€â„¢s Day! Are you guys ready to dance? Alright, this next little song is gonna require you guys to do a polka. If you donâ€â„¢t really know how to do a polka, itâ€â„¢s ok. Itâ€â„¢s easy to cheat. All you gotta do is hop up and down on one footâ€â€youâ€â„¢ve got two of â€Ëœum! Alright? So here we go, weâ€â„¢ll start with your left. To your left. To your right. To your left. To your right. To your left. To your right. To your left. Ooooh!

As I went down to Broadway one evening last July
I met a maid who asked my trade, a sailor lad said I
To Tiffineyâ€â„¢s I took her I did not mind expense
I bought her a pair of gold earrings and they cost me 15 cents

And away you sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls canâ€â„¢t you dance the polka.
And away sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls canâ€â„¢t you dance the polka.
To your left, to your right, to your left, to your right, to your left, to your right!

She said â€Å"my fine new sailor now take me home you mayâ€Â
But when I reached her cottage door she answered me this way,
â€Å"My young man heâ€â„¢s a Yankee with hair cut short behind
My young man is a sailor and he sails in the black bow line.â€Â Scythian - New York Girls - http://motolyrics.com/scythian/new-york-girls-lyrics.html

And away sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls canâ€â„¢t you dance the polka.
And away sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls canâ€â„¢t you dance the polka.
Spin around!
[fiddles play â€Å"St. Anneâ€â„¢s Reelâ€Â]

I joined a Yankee blood boat and sailed away next morn
Donâ€â„¢t mess around with New York girls youâ€â„¢re safer round Cape Horn.
I wrapped my rags around me and to the docks did steer
Iâ€â„¢ll never court another girl, Iâ€â„¢ll stick to rum and beer.

And away sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls canâ€â„¢t you dance the polka.
And away sent me, my dear Annie.
O you New York girls canâ€â„¢t you dance the polka.
