[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt & Shirley Simms?]
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 k** you
Do something, anything
Do something true
