Lyrics[]
English[]
"Alright everybody, let's all get ready to point our fingers and we'll do the twist, here we go!"
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
(Everybody's twisting, Greg!)
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
(We're all doing the twist!)
Well, we're gonna go up then go down
Get back up and turn around
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
(What's next Greg? What's next?)
Can you stand on one foot and shake your hands?
(Oh boy, that's hard!)
Can you stand on one foot and shake your hands?
(Shaky, shaky!)
Now we're gonna go up then go down
Get back up and turn around
Can you stand on one foot and shake your hands?
(What's next Greg?)
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
(Pointy, pointy, pointy!)
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
(I'm doing the twist really fast, Greg!)
Now we're gonna go up then go down
Get back up and turn around
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
