WILBURY TWIST
(Dylan / Harrison / Lynne / Petty)

The Travelling Wilburys - 1990


You put your hand on your head (Hand on your head)
Put your foot in the air (Foot in the air)
Then you hop around the room (Hop around the room)
In your underwear (In your underwear)
There ain't never been nothin' quite like this
Come on baby, it's the Wilbury Twist

Lift your other foot up (Other foot up)
And you fall on your ass (Fall on your ass)
Get back up (Get back up)
Put your teeth in a glass (Teeth in a glass)
There ain't never been nothin' quite like this
It's a magical thing called the Wilbury Twist

(Everybody's tryin' to do the Wilbury Twist)
(China, Belgium, France, Japan)
(Thailand, Poland, Pakistan)
(Everybody's tryin' to do the Wilbury Twist)

Roll up your rug (Roll up your rug)
Dust your broom (Dust your broom)
Ball the jack (Ball the jack)
Howl at the moon (howl at the moon)
Ain't never been nothin' quite like this
Everybody's talkin' 'bout the Wilbury Twist

(Everybody's tryin' to do the Wilbury Twist)
(Puerto Rico, U.S.A.)
(England, Camaroon, even Norway)
(Everybody's tryin' to do the Wilbury Twist)

Turn your lights down low (Lights down low)
Put your blindfold on (Put your blindfold on)
You'll never know (You'll never know)
When your friends have gone (When your friends have gone)
It could be years before you're missed
Everybody's tryin' to do the Wilbury Twist

It's a different dance (It's a different dance)
For you all to do (For you all to do)
And you spin your body (Everybody try it)
Like a screw (Spin your body like a crew)
Better not forget it on your shopping list
(You can stop and buy one, it's the Wilbury Twist)
Ain't never been nothin' quite like this
(Better come and get it, it's the Wilbury Twist)
I guess by now you've got the gist
(Everybody's crazy about the Wilbury Twist)
