Politics and foreign wars
All the weather, all the scores
That‘s the World News Polka.
Business news from Tokyo,
Stuff you saw on Koppel‘s show
That‘s the World News Polka.
It‘s late at night, you‘re wide awake
And you‘re not wearing pants.
So grab your World News Now mug
And everybody dance!
Have some fun, be a pal,
Ev‘ry anchor guy and gal,
Do the World News Polka.
(SPOKEN) Everybody!
(Instrumental)
(SUNG) That‘s the World News Polka.
(SPOKEN) Insomniacs only!
(Instrumental)
(SUNG) That‘s the World News Polka!
Who cares what the bosses think?
They‘re a Goofy crew.
And if your neighbors call the cops
Here‘s all you have to do:
When they yell, "It‘s half past three!"
Tell them, "Hey -- it‘s news to me!"
That‘s the World News Polka!
They make us work the graveyard shift
That‘s why we go for broke.
So why not tune in ABC
And join our little joke?
Five whole days every week
We‘re here with a tongue in cheek
And the World News Polka.
Do the World News Polka!
