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
