THE WORLD NOG POLKA

Barry: [Spoken]
"Hey. News got you down? Come on, let's... POLKA - with the West Side
Sounds!"
	
(Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum!)
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!
(Everybody dance... Doo!)
	
Have some fun
Be a pal
Every anchor guy and gal
Do the World News Polka!
(Bum Buh Dum Dum)

Thalia left and didn't pack.
Now we're happy that she's back.
Since she learned to polka!
We're one great big family,
Dancing 'round the christmas tree -
To the World News Polka!
(doo doo doo doo)

Who cares what the network thinks
Or the sponsors, too?
And if your neighbors call the cops
Here's all you have to do .
(All you have to do . Doo!)

When they yell
"It's half past three!"
Tell them, "Hey, it's news to me!"
That's the World News Polka!
(Bum Bum Bum Ba Dum Dum)
We're stuck here
On the overnight,
But that's okay because
When he comes down
The chimney we say
"Hi!" to Santa Claus!
("Hi!" to Santa Claus!)

Hope he brings
Just one gift -
Get us off this midnight shift!
That's the World News Polka!

Do the World News Polka!
Do the World News ...

POLKA!
[Spoken]: Gee, thanks, Mr. Jennings!
