It Started in Scranton, It's Now Number One
The Pennsylvania Polka is part of our cultural heritage. There ought to be at least one SAT question about it. You should not get into college without knowing what started in Scranton and is now number one.

Strike up the music the band has begun
The Pennsylvania Polka
Pick out your partner and join in the fun
The Pennsylvania Polka
It started in Scranton. It's now number one
It's bound to entertain ya
Everybody has a mania to do the polka from Pennsylvania

While they're dancing
Everybody's cares are quickly gone
Sweet romancing
This goes on and on until the dawn.
They're so carefree
Gay with laughter, happy as can be
They stop to have a beer
Then the crowd begins to cheer
They kiss and then they start to dance again.

Strike up the music the band has begun
The Pennsylvania Polka
Pick out your partner and join in the fun
The Pennsylvania Polka
It started in Scranton. It's now number one
It's bound to entertain ya
Everybody has a mania to do the polka from Pennsylvania.

2. I drop my son at school....
And the price for not having to take the bus is that he has to listen along with me to the polka station that broadcasts out of Hartford. Not too many of them left.

Which would be a good thing, in my son's opinion...
