I'm watchin' Sis go pit-a-pat.

Said, "I can do that.  I can do that."

Knew every step right off the bat.

Said, "I can do that.  I can do that."



One morning Sis won't go to dance class.

I grab her shoes and tights and all,

But my foot's too small.  So,

I stuff her shoes with extra socks,

Run seven blocks in nothing flat.



Hell, I can do that.  I can do that!



I got to class and had it made

And so I stayed the rest of my life.

All thanks to Sis (now married and fat),

I can do this.



 That I can do!  I can do that!



(speaks)

And then everybody started calling me "Twinkle-Toes
