Synopsis
A song catches the ears of all of Ash, May, Brock, Jessie, and James' Pokémon. Ash's Pokémon are eating, May and Brock's Pokémon are sleeping, and Jessie and James's Pokémon are pushing a statue of Giovanni up a hill. Meowth jumps out a few times before all the Pokémon are shown dancing to the song.
Meowth is relaxing in a hot spring when the water becomes too hot and he jumps out. Then he is shown sitting in front of a Taj Mahal-type building eating curry- he blows fire out his mouth. Then he is sleeping under an Altaria before he polishes the Giovanni statue and falls off.
The group of main Pokémon continue to dance as a Whismur with maracas and a Ludicolo slide past.
Meowth and Pikachu dance together, and the flying main Pokémon move through the air.
Finally, everyone dances again as a Loudred slides past.

Win or lose, will you dance the polka? You, next to me, too! Win or lose, will you dance the polka? Are you already dancing?

The preparations are good, and tonight, with the best dance rhythm We'll forget about this or that Just make a racket! (Meow!) Because today is here, there will be tomorrow Anyway, the world is bright, hoi hoi Win or lose, will you dance the polka? You, back there, too Win or lose, will you dance the polka? Are you dancing as you please? Win or lose, will you dance the polka? You, next to me, too! Win or lose, will you dance the polka? Are you already dancing? |
English version
Here's your ticket,
Hit the floor and kick it!
No sense stayin' in a chair, no!
Music, pumpin',
Now the joint is jumpin'!
Slidin' and glidin' through the air!
Now’s the time for shakin’,
For turnin’ ‘round and wakin’
The sleepyhead that’s in your bed; the fun is for the takin’!
Forget about the snoozers,
‘Cause snoozin’s for the losers,
Since everything is lookin’ up then let’s party down!
Every single Pokémon
That knows what is goin’ on
Is there to sing and shake their thing until the break of day, hey!
Check out the way my friends are spinnin',
It keeps us all a-grinnin'
And giddy in a Pokémonic way.
Here’s your ticket,
Hit the floor and kick it!
No sense sittin’ this one out, yo!
Don’t be tardy,
Join the Poké-party!
Time for the Poké-party dance!
Here’s your chance now,
On the floor and dance now!
Don’t be a Poké-party pooper!
Take it, shake it,
Promise you won’t break it!
Time for the Poké-party dance!
