[Intro – piano and finger snaps] One... Two... Three— Rikka-Doo! [Verse 1] Put on the shoes Straighten the tie Don't need a reason Don't ask me why Door swings open Beat walks in Little bit of trouble With a crooked grin Step on one Slide on two Three little moves And I'm coming through When the brass says hey And the piano says go— There's only one thing You need to know [Pre-Chorus] Tick-tick Tap-tap Bring that rhythm Right back Hold it there... Don't move... Now— [Chorus] RIKKA-DOO RIKKA-DAY Swing it over Slide away Bim-ba-bam Ratta-ta-ray Everybody move— RIKKA-DAY! RIKKA-DOO RIKKA-DIGHT Shake that rhythm Left and right Dabba-doo Bim-bam-boo One more round— RIKKA-DOO! [Brass Hit] HEY! [Verse 2] Clock says late But I say no Bass keeps walking So I let it go Table starts shaking Glasses jump Piano gets clever And the brass goes— BUMP! Don't need words To understand One little snap One little hand Everybody knows When the rhythm comes through Bada-bada-bim-bam— Rikka-Doo! [Pre-Chorus] Tick-tick Tap-tap Bring that rhythm Right back Hold it there... Don't move... Now— [Chorus] RIKKA-DOO RIKKA-DAY Swing it over Slide away Bim-ba-bam Ratta-ta-ray Everybody move— RIKKA-DAY!
