Verse:
What is that haunting refrain that you hear in the air?
Here and there, ev'ry where,
It's just a beautiful strain that keeps taunting my brain constantly,
It's my melody it's my syphony.
 
Chorus:
Inka Dinka Doo, A dinka dee, A dinka doo,
Oh, what a tune for crooning.
Inka Dinka Doo, A dinka dee, A dinka doo,
It's got the whole world spooning.
Eskimo bells up in Iceland, Are ringing,
They've made their own Paradise Land, Singing,
Inka Dinka Doo, A dinka dee, A dinka doo,
Simply means Inka dinka dee, A dinka doo.
