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."
