Music is playing
Dancers are swaying
Romance is in the air
Down at the friendly tavern
Everyone's happy there

Lights are twinkling
Glasses tinkling
Happiness in the air
Down at the friendly tavern
Nothing else can compare

That's where we go for cheer
Bring along friends we hold so dear
Round up the polka band
And sing that song together

Time to get started
gay and light-hearted
No need to ask us where
Down at the friendly tavern
Everyone's happy there
