They call it wacky dust

It's from a hot cornet

It gives your feet a feeling so breezy

And oh, it's so easy to get



They call it wacky dust

It brings a dancing jag

And once it starts, then only a

Sap'll refuse to Big Apple or Shag



Oh I don't know just why 

It gets you so high

Putting a buzz in you heart

You'll do a marathon

You'll wanna go on 

Kickin' the ceilin' apart



They call it wacky dust

It's something you can't trust

And in the end the rhythm will stop

When it does, then you'll drop

From happy wacky dust



Instrumental



Oh we don't know just why 

It gets you so high

Putting a buzz in you heart

You'll do a marathon

You'll wanna go on 

Kickin' the ceilin' apart



They call it wacky dust

It's something you can't trust

And in the end the rhythm will stop

When it does, then you'll drop

From happy wacky dust
