The Nude Polka Kings - Too Much Beer

The Nude Polka Kings keep coming  up with new and different polka songs, at least the lyrics to them. They've written songs that include beer drinking in them, and for sure in the polka culture there is a penchant for it. But now they warn about too much beer, rather tongue in cheek perhaps, but nonetheless. This song has more instrumentals at the beginning and end, with some rather different sounds coming from a polka band. The vocalist is one of the founders of the group, Sammy Smitz, who has a very pleasing baritone. He also was the soloist featured in  their song Pigs In A Polka as well as others. 

The Kings are wrapping up their spring tour in 3 weeks, and they'll be getting ready to play their Nudie
Polka Tour, a unique tour of the band in venues where nudity is permitted, and in some places mandatory.  They have their own polka hall, Beer and wine bar, and a fine Polish/German restaurant outside of Chicago. It is unique as it is the largest (and only) mandatory nudist polka hall in the U.S. , maybe the world. They'll be there periodically through the summer and fall,  while playing other concerts occasionally. They prefer performing in the nude, but outside their own hall they will take gigs clothed as well. Our associate that's been there says it is a really fun place once you get accustomed to the nudity, and their restaurant has some of the finest food he ever ate! No doubt they'll open up with their song The Nudie Polka as they do with every concert they give. 

You’re drinking too much beer 

And you're dancing way too fast 

You might just slip and slide 

And proceed to bruise your ass 

 

When you fall down on the floor 

Here's what you should do 

Release your partner from your grasp 

Or she'll get bruised up too 

 

 Too much beer gives you crazy thoughts 

That can tie your feet into clumsy knots 

You've had too much beer it's really not a crime 

Just sit and listen be so sublime 

 

 Too much beer polka we play it every time 

Too much beer polka cuz we all like a good time 

We dance and sing and drink they are remedies 

Too much beer polka soothes all our maladies! 

 

We all enjoy the music and the camaraderie 

It helps to cope with the strife of living 

A few hours in a dance hall relaxing 

Can help make life worth living 

 

But too much of it they say isn't good for you 

Pork fat, salt, sugar, alcohol, all the stuff that's good 

So try to be diligent with your party time 

And try to do the things you know you should 

 

Too much beer polka we play it every time 

Too much beer polka cuz we all like a good time 

We dance and sing and drink they are remedies 

Too much beer polka soothes all our maladies!
