[D] [C] [D] Say let's listen and have some fun [C] to the gay lyrics of [D] Handsome Harry Kruhalbaum.
[G] There's a burlesque theater [C] where the gang loves to go [D] to see Queenie the cutie of the [G] burlesque show.
And the thrill of the evening [C] is when out Queenie skips [D] and the band plays the polka [G] while she strips.
Take it off, [Bm] take it off, [Am] cries a voice [D] from the rear.
Take it off, take it off, [G] soon it's all you can hear.
But she's [E] always a lady [Am] even in [D] pantomime, so she stops and always [G] just in time.
She's as fresh and as wholesome [C] as the flowers in May, [D] and she hopes to retire [G] to the farm someday.
But you can't buy a farm [C] until you're up in the chips, [D] so the band plays the polka [G] while she strips.
Take it off, take it off, [Am] all the [D] customers shout.
Down in front, down in front, [G] while the band beats it out.
But she's always [Bm] a lady [Am] even in [D] pantomime, so she stops and always [G] just in time.
[D] She's Queen of them all.
[G] She's somebody you'll find [C]
[Eb] in [Ab] strip [G] polka town.
Oh, she hates corny waltzes and [C] she hates the gavotte.
And [D] there's one big advantage if [G] the music's hot.
It's a fast-moving exit just [C] in case something rips.
So [D] the band plays the polka while she [G] strips.
Ruffle around, take it in.
It's the [Am] [D] best in the West.
[B] Take it off, take it off, take [D] it off.
You can yell like the [G] rest.
Take her out when it's over.
[C] She's a piece when she's [D] dressed.
But she stops and always just in [G] time, time, time.
[D]
Queenie, Queen of them all.
[G]
Queenie, someday you'll fall.
[B] Someday church bells [Am] will chime.
Clang, clang, in strip polka time.
Church bells will chime in [Ab] strip polka [G]
[Gm] time.
