Waggle Dance is a song sung by the Fireside Girls, primarily Ginger, in the episode "Bee Story" as they try to earn their Beekeeping patches by directing the bees back into their hive.
Lyrics
NOTE: The opening line is repeated as backup during every other line of the final verse and both choruses.
Backup singer: (Waggle dance! Waggle dance!)
Ginger: Well, I don't think I can really overstate it,
But bee communication is quite complicated.
What seems at first like a simple figure eight
Fireside Girls: Is packed with meaning when their butts gyrate!
Ginger: See, the waggle explains the angle
From the sun to the door of the hive
We shake it to and fro
To let everybody know
That the angle is 75
Gretchen: Oh, 75 degrees is the angle in relationship to the sun.
Ginger: Yeah, but it also tells the bees the distance they're gonna have to go just to get there!
Gretchen: Ooh...
Fireside Girls: It's a waggle dance, waggle dance,
Show them where they got to go!
It's a waggle dance, waggle dance,
Take it to the bee chateau!
Ginger: Let's do it!
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, stop:
Fireside Girls: Figure eight and shake it again!
Ginger: Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, stop:
Fireside Girls: Everybody shake your rear end!
Ginger: You got it!
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, stop:
Fireside Girls: Come on and swing those skirts!
Ginger: Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, stop:
Fireside Girls: Try to hit 'em at thirteen hertz!
Ginger: That's right!
Fireside Girls: It's a waggle dance, waggle dance,
Show them where they got to go!
It's a waggle dance, waggle dance,
Take it to the bee chateau!
Backup singer: Waggle dance!
