The Oskar Homolka Polka

By Richard von Busack and Broos Campbell

Some say the polka came from the Poles
Who got it from Satan, in exchange for the souls
But Vienna is the birthplace of the polka
It's also the birthplace of Oskar Homolka
Oskar Homolka was as big as a bear
and had a foreign accent just as thick as a board
but when the roll of polecats is called up yonder
Oskar Homolka will never be ignored
Oskar, Oskar, Oskar Homolka
This is the Oskar Homolka polka
I know he died back in '78
But some of his movies are partially great

He worked for Hitchcock, betcha didn't know
You can still see Sabotage on the late late show
In Ball of Fire he got to wear a turtleneck sweater
But in Funeral in Berlin, he is much, much better
He had big bushy eyebrows that any man would covet
and if he was in a bad film, he'd always rise above it
When they asked him to do nudity, he told them they could shove it
If O. Homolka's in a film, I know that I will love it

Oskar, Oskar, Oskar Homolka
This is the Oskar Homolka polka
I know he died back in '78
But some of his movies are partially great

@1994, Richard von Busack/Broos Campbell
