Polkamon is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is the 10th track on the soundtrack of the second movie, The Power of One.

Lyrics

Krabby, Snubbull, Venonat,
Mankey, Chansey and Zubat,
Slowking, Ditto, Butterfree,
Lugia and Caterpie,
Oddish, Poliwag, Goldeen,
Elekid and Nidoqueen,
Victreebel and Magneton -
Everybody Polkamon!

Aerodactyl, Seel, Machoke,
Marill, Moltres and Slowpoke,
Articuno, Ditto, Muk,
Flareon and ol' Psyduck,
Cloyster, Kingler, Shellder, Gloom,
Snorlax and of course Vileplume,
Zapdos and Charmeleon -
Everybody Polkamon!

It's time to Polka,
For Ponyta and Pidgey too.
Come on, put on your lederhosen,
And try not to step on little Pikachu.
You better grab yourself a partner,
Like Tentacruel or Bulbasaur. (Bulbasaur!)
Hold on a minute, there's still at least a hundred and twenty-seven more,

Including Ledyba and Omastar,
Jynx, Bellossom and Magmar,
Geodude and Arcanine,
Jigglypuff and Mr. Mime.
Don't forget about Sandslash,
Exeggcute and Rapidash,
Lickitung and Porygon -
Everybody Polkamon!

Everybody Polkamon!

Everybody Polkamon!
