Song Lyrics
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
Well, we're gonna go up and go down
Get back up and turn around
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
Can you stand on one foot and shake your hands?
Can you stand on one foot and shake your hands?
Well, we're gonna go up and go down
Get back up and turn around
Can you stand on one foot and shake your hands?
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
Now, we're gonna go up and go down
Get back up and turn around
Can you point your fingers and do the twist?
Listen to 1995 Version
