It's darker than the dark bottom
   It 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
  
   Hands up high and shake your head
   You'll soon see red
   Doing the reactionary
  
   Don't go left, but be polite

   All the best dictators do it

   Doing the reac-
   Doing the reac-
   Tionary
  
   So get in it, begin it
   It's smart, oh, so very
   To do the reactionary!
