Lyrics

Ow! Get ready To blow Get in the stratosphere So high I can't even hear Let me hear you squeal That's right Ow! Well, that's the way I feel I'm gonna teach you a brand new dance So you better listen close To every word I say You ready? Now if you feel a certain craving That you just can't explain Shimmering sensation That's bumping 'round in your brain Try so hard to control it But you can't hold it back You gotta give yourself up Let your defenses crack Drop it Give it some sass But don't you play nothing crass 'Cause I'm fast on your knees You can go just as low as you please Oh, come on And catch the disease You gotta scratch that itch Baby, do the twitch Hey, Robert Play me some hot licks Want you to show me Just what makes you tick Want you to blow 'Til your face turns cherry red And then wail Until you're ready to raise the dead Now all I want for you to pay close attention to this next verse If you don't get it right You're gonna find yourself under a curse And you better learn how to dance this mess After this record is over There's gonna be a multiple choice test Now listen Don't be afraid of your urges Give yourself a shock Awhirl into a dervish And break down your mental blocks Just break it down Tear off all of your hinges Unscrew all of the joints When you get those nasty twinges You just won't have any choice But remember when you do it, you better be discreet 'Cause the twitch is the dance of the elite We don't want no scandal So don't you bite off more than you can handle Untie all your knots Give yourself a shock For medical purposes only 'Cause you gotta let your blood unclot Ow! You just pull that switch And then you're doing the twitch Now baby, open your ears, shut your mouth and be real polite And listen to the way it's played by Mr. White Ow! Ow! Once you start in twitching You can't stay in control It intoxicates your nerves Electrifies your soul You feel so epileptic You get yourself a shivering fit You think you just can't take no more No more But baby, the twitch won't alert you quit Ow! You can't stop You gotta twitch until you drop So let it take your mind Inducting your spine Baby, leave all of your restraints behind Ow! You gotta scratch that itch Baby, baby, do the twitch Ow! Ow! Ow!
