It's darker than the dark bottom
Rumbles more than the Rumba
If you think that the two steps got 'em

Just take a look at this number
It's got that certain swing
That makes you wanna sing

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 steppin' 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

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 steppin' 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 reac'
Doing the reactionary

So get in it, begin it
It's smart, oh, so very
To do the reactionary
