People of Earth, when you dance
Dance the Dada Polka
Life is only a dream
When in the mood for romance
Dance the Dada Polka
Be as cute as you seem
Gyrate like a gyroscope,
Collide like a kaleidoscope
Freeze!
Do something-anything-
Do something, please
People of Earth, don't just stand
There, the Dada Polka
Is as fun as it sounds
Move hips and hands when the band
Plays the Dada Polka
You may lose a few pounds
Gyrate like a gyroscope,
Collide like a kaleidoscope
Change!
Do something-anything-
Do something strange
People of Mars, you too must
Do the Dada Polka
It's the meaning of life
Fill any partner with lust?
Do the Dada Polka
Soon there'll be a new wife
Gyrate like a gyroscope,
Collide like a kaleidoscope, do
Do something-anything-
Do something blue
Do something-anything-
Do something a little out of
character, it won't kill you
Do something-anything-
Do something true.
