Come on, baby, join the rumba line
Leave your attitude, shake your spine
Bill's beatitude? Gotta be nice,
Drop the platitude, life is spice!
Shake it, yeah, shake you zombies!
Shake it, yeah, shake Chicago!

Come on, baby, do the Wiggle Dance

Let go, let's go, take off yer pants!
Wiggle, wiggle, chain reaction
Shake it loose, no more compaction.

We are animals, say it loud
Fucking animals, say it proud!

Come on, baby, do the Wiggle Dance
Now writhe like worms

Come on, baby, take a chance
You won't get germs!

Bark like an elephant
Bray like a cat
Sniff like an insect
Giggle like a bat
And do the Wiggle Dance
Yeah, do the Wiggle Dance

Up to the stratosphere
Down to the splatosphere
Mermaids & satyrs
Actors & waiters
Fish in the ocean
Spastics in motion
Bees in their hot hive
Haiti & hot jive
White, black & green
Brain cell machine

Do the Wiggle Dance
Yeah, do the Wiggle Dance!
