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

Trivia
- This song gives thanks to Terry Murray for the guitar work.
- The song won Most Performed Children's Work at the 1995 APRA awards.
- The Sam Moran version of the song is played on the game Dance to the Wiggly Radio in addition to performing it live in Wiggledancing! Live In Concert.
- On August 7th 2014, the Australia Day live in concert version was uploaded on YouTube. Then when the 2013 live studio version was uploaded on YouTube on September 28th 2017, it contained a prologue before the song, which was deleted for time constraints on the 1st season of Ready, Steady, Wiggle!. The instrumental track for Murray Had A Turtle was also played. Then on July 5th 2018, The Best of The Wiggles music video version was uploaded.
- The 1995 Version plays in D whereas later versions play in E. Some versions of the song's instrumental track play in D, such as in the Here Comes The Big Red Car video during the Dorothy's Dance Party introduction, while other uses of it play in E such as in the The Taiwanese Wiggles' and The Latin American Wiggles' recordings.
- This is one of Greg's favorite songs.
