DO THE TWITCH

[spoken]
Here it comes...

Lights!
Camera!
Umm Um um...

(action)

oh darn.
oh

[sung]
Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
[spoken]
(what, I sing now?)
(yeah yeah yeah sing now)
(sorry, okay)

[sung]
Every body does it like Vivian Vance now

It's a little tougher to grasp thank the birds and the bees
But it's easier to do than counting 1 - 2 - 3
Ya do the twitch
Hey ya do the twitch
ya do the twitch, twitch twitch, twitch
Ya do the Twitch
I get my kicks
From nervous ticks
I do the twitch

You don't even gotta lift your feet now
Dup dup dup dup
Just tense your muscles to the beat now
Dup dup dup dup
Don't ask what inspired us to write this song
We don't even know
Come on twitch along
Ya do the twitch
Hey ya do the twitch
ya do the twitch, twitch twitch, twitch
Ya do the Twitch
That muscle spasm
Makes me orgasm
Let's do the twitch

[rap]
Well it's the new dance craze
And everybody's doing it
Even Helen Hayes
Which doesn't rhyme with corn
But I call it maize
So fuck em' all anyways
And do the twitch!

[sung]
Ya do the twitch
Ya do the twitch
Ya do the twitch
I do the twitch
Myself

Ya do the t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-twitch
Ya do the t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-twitch
(twitch)
Ya do the twitch
(Twitch)
Ned does the twitch
(twitch)

[spoken]
That's it Ned, you got it woooo rock and roll
(twitch twitch)
All right, yeah yeah
(twitch)
Uh hey Ned, man I didn't know you were and epileptic
(twitchatatwtwttttwwwwitch)
Hes having a seizure, somebody call a doctor quick
(t-t-t-t--t-t-twwwwchchchaaa)
n-now Ned Ned, Ned just relax this is all gonna come to pass
(twitch)
You okay man?

TWITCH!

The Plastic Bastards

The Plastic Bastards came together from two out-of-work actors who were looking for an outlet for their extremely askew sense of humor.
Common questions asked of us: "Who are your musical inspirations?", "Are you taking medication for that?" & "What have your boys been smoking?" ... more
