[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt, Shirley Simms, & Claudia Gonson]
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

[Chorus 1]
Gyrate like a gyroscope
Collide like a kaleidoscope
Freeze!
Do something, anything
Do something please

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Gyrate like a gyroscope
Collide like a kaleidoscope
Change!
Do something, anything
Do something strange
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 3]
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
