- Verse:
- I've danced to many tunes
that people have raved about, But here's a melody that I couldn't
do with out.
- The one I'm telling you
of, cannot be beat, It runs around my brain and tickles my dancing
feet.
- It's not a jazzy tune, nor
is it a symphony, Just hear it once or twice I know you'll agree,
- It's most original, It's
most unusual, And just as cute as it can be.
-
- Chorus:
- What a peculiar tune, Thrilling
me night and noon, What a peculiar tune.
- Has such a funny swing,
It's such a catchy thing, Makin' me like a loon.
- It teases me, Pleases me,
It's in the air, It's evrywhere,
- It's haunting me, taunting
me, What a refrain, play it again,
- Makin' me want to dance,
Makin' me want to prance, That melody so queer.
- Makin' me want to twirl,
Keepin' my brain awhirl, Rhythm is all I hear.
- The Doll Dance is it's name.
It's gonna drive you insane,
- Such a peculiar tune, You're
gonna hum it soon, What a peculiar tune.
