'''Polka O Dolka''' (Japanese: '''ポルカ・オ・ドルカ''' lit. ''Poruka O Doruka'') is the second Japanese ending theme of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. It debuted in [[AG019]], replacing [[Because the Sky is There]], and ended in [[AG044]], changing back to the previous song.

The song was heavily featured in the [[Pikachu short]] ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance!!]]'', and was also translated and dubbed in the English [[dub]] of the short. The dub lyrics were written by [[Carter Cathcart]].

===Synopsis===

A song catches the ears of all of {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|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 {{an|Giovanni}} up a hill. {{MTR}} 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 {{wp|Taj Mahal}}-type building eating curry- he blows fire out his mouth. Then he is sleeping under an {{p|Altaria}} before he polishes the Giovanni statue and falls off.

The group of main Pokémon continue to dance as a {{p|Whismur}} with {{wp|maracas}} and a {{p|Ludicolo}} slide past.

Meowth and {{AP|Pikachu}} dance together, and the flying main Pokémon move through the air.

The sleepyhead that's in your bed; the fun is for the takin'!

'Cause snoozin's for the losers,

 

Is there to sing and shake that thing until the break of day, hey!

Check out the way my friends are spinnin',

And giddy in a Pokémonic way.

 

No sense sittin' this one out, yo!

 

 

 

 

Check out the way my friends are spinnin',
