VERSE
It's darker than the dark bottom,
It rumbles more than the rumba.
If you think that the two-step got 'em
Just take a look at this number.
It's got that certain swing
That makes you want to sing.
REFRAIN
Don't go left, but be polite,
Move to the right,
Doing the reactionary.
Close your eyes to where you're bound,
And you'll be found
Doing the reactionary.
All the best dictators do it,
Millionaires keep stepping to it,
The four hundred love to sing it,
Ford and Morgan swing it.
Hand up high and shake your head,
You'll soon see red,
Doing the reactionary.
So get in it, begin it,
It's smart, oh so very,
To do the reactionary.
It's darker than the dark bottom,
It rumbles more than the rumba.
If you think that the two-step got 'em
Just take a look at this number.
It's got that certain swing
That makes you want to sing.
