Lyrics

Waka Laka's a thing to play forever
Just to be together (Just to be together)
Waka Laka's a place to be forever
Waka Laka love and fantasy

(Waka... Waka... Waka...)

See Waka Laka when you need a flight of fantasy (fantasy)
Ecstasy (ecstasy)
Rhapsody (rhapsody)
See Waka Laka when you want a love so tenderness (tenderness)
Waka Laka make you fly

See Waka Laka when you're going to feel so sad and blue,
Just for you, never blue
See Waka Laka and a funny bunny'll free your life
Now it's Waka Laka time

I wanna live (I wanna live)
A brand new day (A brand new day)
Go far away (Go far away)
To Waka Laka place
A Waka time (A Waka time)
To feel so fine (To feel so fine)
A Waka Laka flight

Waka Laka's a thing to play forever
Just to be together (Just to be together)
Waka Laka's so magical and tender
Musical and wonder fantasy

Waka Laka's a never ending story
Glory, glory, glory (Glory, glory, glory)
Waka Laka's a place to be forever
Waka Laka love and,
Waka Laka love and,
Waka Laka love and fantasy

  • The DDRMAX2 ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK album also credits WAKA LAKA's artist as JENNY ROM VS THE ZIPPERS.
  • DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX4 also credits WAKA LAKA under WAKA LAKA E=MC2 Mix and JENNY ROM VS THE ZIPPERS for the song and artist name respectively, though the banner remained unchanged.
• WAKA LAKA's background is a snapshot of a MotionJPEG video in the MAX-EXTREME video directory, "jsdaaa", containing a bunch of bouncing red ellipsoids.
  • Similarly, its banner is a washed out snapshot of another animation, "jsmata".
• WAKA LAKA received a Single BEGINNER chart in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME.
• WAKA LAKA received a new background and BEGINNER charts in DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX4.
  • WAKA LAKA's DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX4 background has helixes of ellipsoids that vaguely resemble the ones in jsdaaa.
• WAKA LAKA (E=MC2 Mix) also appears in Step Revolution's dancing game StepManiaX, with its jacket mimicking its DanceDanceRevolution banner.
