Lift your other foot up, Fall on your ass, 
Get back up, Put your teeth in a glass 
There ain't never been nothin' quite like this.

Better not forget it on your shopping list 
You can stop and buy one, it's the Wilbury Twist

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.
