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
