Do The Bartman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yo! Hey, what's happening, dude?
I'm the guy with the rep for being rude
Terrorizing people wherever I go
It's not intentional, just keepin' the flow
Fixin' test scores to get the best scores
Droppin' banana peels all over the floor
I'm the kid that made delinquency an art
Last name Simpson, first name Bart
I'm here today to introduce the next phase
The next step in the big Bart craze
I've got a dance real easy to do
I learned it with no rhythm, and so can you
So move your body if you've got the notion
Front to back in a rock-like motion
Now that you've got it, if you think you can
Do it to the music, that's the Bartman
Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman
Whoa!
Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man
Shake it out, man!
Front to the back, to the side if you can, can
Bartman!
Everybody in the house do the Bartman
Uh-huh
Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman
Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man
Whoa, mama!
Front to the back, to the side if you can, can
Whoa
Everybody in the house do the Bartman
It wasn't long ago, just a couple of weeks
I got in trouble, yeah, pretty deep
Homer was yellin'
Bart!
Mom was too
Because I put mothballs in the beef stew
Punishment time, in the air lurks gloom
Sitting by myself, confined to my room
When all else fails, nothin' else left to do
I turn on the music, so I can feel the groove
Move your body, if you've got the notion
Whoa, I'm feelin' the groove now, baby!
Front to back in a rock-like motion
Bring it back, whoa!
Move you hips from side to side now
Do the Bartman!
Don't ya slip, let your feet glide now
Whoa, Lisa, Ha!
If ya got the groove, ya gotta use it
Ha, ha, ha!
Light rhythm in time with the music
Ha, ha, ha, Check it out, man
You just might start a chain reaction
If you can do the Bart, you're bad like Michael Jackson
Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman
Oh, yeah!
Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man
Shake yo' body!
Front to the back, to the side if you can, can
Huh!
Everybody in the house do the Bartman
Yeah, do the Bartman
Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman
Everybody, yeah, do the Bartman
Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man
Shake it out
Front to the back, to the side if you can, can
Whoa, mama
Everybody in the house do the Bartman
I'm bad, I'm bad!
Do the Bartman
Do the Bartman!
Everybody back and forth, from side to side
Do the Bartman
Do the Bartman!
Pick your feet up off the floor, let 'em glide!
Do the Bartman
Do the Bartman!
She can do it, he can do it, so can I
Do the Bartman
Do the Bartman!
Now here's a dance beat that you can't deny
Turn it down! Will you stop that infernal racket?!
Do the Bartman!
Oh, my ears! Lisa! Put that saxophone away!
You can't touch this
I didn't do it
Nobody saw me do it
You can't prove anything
Oops!
Now I'm in the house, feeling good to be home
Till Lisa starts blowing that damn saxophone
And if it was mine, you know they'd take it away
But still I'm feeling good, so that's okay
I'm up in my room, just a singin' a song
Listen to the kick drum, kickin' along
Yeah, Lisa likes jazz, she's their number one fan
But I know I'm bad, 'cause I do the Bartman
Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman
Hey, everybody!
Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man
Need I remind you?
Front to the back, to the side if you can, can
I am Bart, Bart-man
Everybody in the house do the Bartman
Shake it out
Do the Bartman
Do the Bartman!
Everybody back and forth, from side to side
Do the Bartman
Do the Bartman!
She can do it, he can do it, so can I
Move your body, if you've got the notion
Move it
Front to back in a rock-like motion
Swing it!
Move you hips from side to side now
Don't ya slip, let your feet glide now
If ya got the groove, ya gotta use it
Dooby, dooby, dooby, dooby, doo, wop, bop, bop!
Light rhythm in time with the music
Dabba doo, dabba doo, dab it!
You just might start a chain reaction
Dabba dab, doo dab
Hee, hee, hee, I'm a Bartman
Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman
Swing it, baby
Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man
Hoo-uh
Front to the back, to the side if you can, can
Oh, yeah, I'm bad, Real bad
Everybody in the house do the Bartman
Whoa, mama
Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman
Do the Bartman
Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man
Front to the back, to the side if you can, can
Ha, ha!
Everybody in the house do the Bartman
Oh, yeah!
Do the Bartman
Move your body, if you've got the notion
You call that dancing? Ha!
Front to back in a rock-like motion
(Do the Bartman)
Watch this move
Move you hips from side to side now
(Everybody in the house do the Bartman)
Ooh, uh uh, uh, ai, ai, Yeah!
Don't ya slip, let your feet glide now
(Do the Bartman)
If ya got the groove, ya gotta use it
Ha, ha, ha! Swing it!
Jack your body in time with the music
You just might start a chain reaction
Eat your heart out, Michael! Woop!
Everybody in the house do the Bartman
