Zbig Szafranski - Polka Dance Is Good For You

Well, it happened. What we at Big And Tall Records thought was a one-off recording of an owner of a famous Polka/Beer hall, n ow has a repeat performance. The gravel-voiced Zbig Szafranski is on tour with The Nude Polka Kings in honor of his 84th birthday. He sits in the crowd, drinks beer while The Kings play, and after he gets lit up enough, he takers the stage to sing. He barely makes it through one song, but the crowd usually gives him a storm of applause. 

To say that Zbig is uninhibited would be an understatement. He's led such a varied, and sometimes dangerous, life that probably contributed to that part of his personality. The man actually faced death in his native Poland due to his rabble rousing. The Soviet Union didn't take kindly to any kind of insurrection, and he had a breath-taking escape from certain  execution. The Kings recorded one of his impromptu songs at a concert and sent us the recording.  Zbig got a big kick out of the first recording he did for us, so in honor of him we're offering this one up as well. At the end he says some words in Polish. According to The Kings that translated it, he says: " We get drunk! We find Polish sluts! We fuck and fart all night long!"and promptly raises his leg and lets go a ripper for emphasis! The reports we're getting from The Kings confirm that is more than an ending for a song; it's his motto for the rest of the night. Each night after a concert The Kings take turns going with the old man on his escapades as they feel responsible for his welfare. At 84, with numerous physical ailments, there seems to be nothing wrong with his libido! 

When you dance the polka in my place 
You need to have a good time 
If you don't I mess up you face 
Because it is a real crime 
 
Polka dance is good for you 
Stomp and stamp your feet 
Drink beer, look at women 
Or I kick you into the street!
 
 Polish woman are good for sex 
They know just what to do 
They treat a man like a king 
Wipe you off when they are through 
 
Polka dance is good for you 
Mazurka is good as well 
Drink the beer, look at woman 
Or you can go to hell! 
 
 Have kielbasa in big bun 
Plenty sauerkraut and mustard 
Eat it all, don't throw none away 
Don't be wasteful bastard! 
 
 Polka dance is good for you 
We love to eat and drink 
Drink the beer, look at woman
 If ya have to puke use the sink! 
 
They want me to sing this song 
They say I am a big star 
But I am thinking they full of gówno (shit) 
They must be big fat liar! 
 
 Polka dance is good for you 
Dance until you drop 
Drink the beer, look at woman 
Then in the bed you flop! 
 
When you dance the polka in my place 
You need to have a good time 
If you don't I mess up you face 
Because it is a real crime 
 
Polka dance is good for you 
Stomp and stamp your feet 
Drink the Beer, look at women 
Or I kick you into the street! 
 
Upijamy się! 
Znajdujemy polskie dziwki! 
Ruchamy się i pierdzimy całą noc!
(We get drunk! We find Polish sluts! 
We fuck and fart all night long!)
