Verse:

What is that haunting refrain that you hear in the air?

Here and there, ev'ry where,

It's just a beautiful strain that keeps taunting my brain constantly,

It's my melody it's my syphony.

 

Chorus:

Inka Dinka Doo, A dinka dee, A dinka doo,

Oh, what a tune for crooning.

Inka Dinka Doo, A dinka dee, A dinka doo,

It's got the whole world spooning.

Eskimo bells up in Iceland, Are ringing,

They've made their own Paradise Land, Singing,

Inka Dinka Doo, A dinka dee, A dinka doo,

Simply means Inka dinka dee, A dinka doo.
