[Spoken]
 Hey. News got you down? Come on, let's... POLKA!

[ABC News fanfare: Dah dah da-dah. ]

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!
 
[Barry's Backup singers] Hey!

Have some fun. Be a pal. Every anchor guy and gal,
Do the World News Polka!

[spoken] Come on, everyone!

 [Instrumental]

[Barry's Backup singers] That's the World News Polka!

[spoken] Insomniacs only!

[Instrumental]

That's the World News Polka!
	
Who cares what the network thinks? Or the sponsors, too?

[Barry's Backup singers] Who cares?

And if your neighbors call the cops, here's all you have to do: 

[Barry's Backup singers] What?

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 our tongues in cheek.
That's the World News Polka!
	
Do the World News Polka!

Gee, thanks, Mr. Jennings!
