"Hoop Dee Doo" is a polka song from 1950 written by Milton Delugg and Frank Loesser and made popular by Perry Como. The Wiggles covered this song in the video and album partially named after this song. It was also a staple for many of their live shows from 2001 until 2011 and then 2017.

English[]
Get ready everybody it's Hoop Dee Doo
Wiggly Polka time
Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo
I hear a polka and my troubles are through
Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Dee
This kind of music is like heaven to me
Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo
It's got me higher than a kite
Hand me down me soup and fish,
I am gonna get my wish
Hoop Dee doin' it tonight
When there's a trumpet blowing,
Ra ta ta ta da
I get a thrill, Woopee, I always will
(Jeff)
When there's an old accordion
stretching out a mile
I'll always smile, woo-hooh,
because that's my style
(Here comes Greg)
When they fiddle in the middle it really is a riddle
how they play a tune so sweet,
Play the tune so sweet that I could die
(Murray)
Oh lead me to the floor and hear me yell for more
I'm a Hoop Dee doin' kind of guy
Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo
Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Dee
Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo
Hoop Dee doin' it tonight
When there's a trumpet blowing, Ra ta ta ta da
I get a thrill, ha ha, I always will (woo-hooh)
(Jeff!)
When there's an old accordion stretching
out a mile,
I'll always smile, ha ha, because that's my style
(Greg!)
When they fiddle in the middle, it really is a riddle
how they play a tune so sweet,
Play a tune so sweet that I could die
(Here comes Murray!)
Oh lead me to the floor and hear me yell for more
Because I'm a Hoop Dee doin' kind of guy
Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo
I hear a polka and my troubles are through
Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Dee
This kind of music is like heaven to me
Hoop Dee Doo, Hoop Dee Doo
It's got me higher than a kite
Hand me down me soup and fish
I am gonna get my wish
Hoop Dee doin' it with all of my might
I'm in clover
I'm in the mood
When I'm dancing, give me room
Hoop Dee doin' it, Hoop Dee doin' it,
Hoop Dee doin' it tonight
Hoop Dee!

Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
Oyendo polca, ya no hay preocupación
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-dee
Con esta música, en el cielo estoy
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
Un papalote, puedo ser
Una polca sonará
Mi deseo se cumplirá
Hoop-dee-doo y yo será
Y la trompeta suena, Ra-da-da-da-da
Qué emoción siempre es así
Y cuando el acordeón lo estiro hasta allá
Sonrío yo, mi estilo es
Desde el los cines este fin y que estando a los quince se ecucho un violín
Qué dulce placer es su vibra
Y de la emoción, al piso yo me voy
Pues yo "Hoop-dee-doo" al ritmo soy
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-dee
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
Hoop-dee-doo y yo será
Y la trompeta suena, Ra-da-da-da-da
Qué emoción siempre es así
Y cuando el acordeón lo estiro hasta allá
Sonrío yo, mi estilo es
Desde el los cines este fin y que estando a los quince se ecucho un violín
Qué dulce placer es su vibra
Y de la emoción, al piso yo me voy
Pues yo "Hoop-dee-doo" al ritmo soy
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
Oyendo polca, ya no hay preocupación
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-dee
Con esta música, en el cielo estoy
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
Un papalote, puedo ser
Una polca sonará
Mi deseo se cumplirá
Hoop-dee-doo y sueno, alcanzaré
Estoy contento
Estoy feliz
Cuando bailo
Hazme lugar
Hoop-dee-doo y yo
Hoop-dee-doo y yo
Hoop-dee-doo y yo será
