Talk Backwards |
Hey everybody wherever you are |
There’s a new way of talking and it’s gonna go far; |
You take the letters in the words |
Turn 'em all around; |
you say the last ones first |
And you check out the sound |
Talk Backwards |
I know what you’re thinking; |
That sounds strange |
You’ve talked forward so long that it’s hard to change |
But it’s just like metric once you get the drift |
You twist your tongue and you give your palate a lift |
You take your favorite phrase |
And you read it in the mirror |
Practice that about a half a year |
And then sdrawkcab gnikiat mi em ta kool |
You’re a regular talking bassackwards fool |
Talk backwards |
Talking backwards is sweeping the nation |
Talking backwards is the new sensation |
You amaze your friends when you start to rap |
Don’t say pass the butter, say rettub eht ssap |
Rettub eht ssap? |
Rettub eht ssap |
And if you’re out with a girl and she’s a little bit shy |
Don’t say I love you; |
say Uoy evol I |
Uoy evol I and I always will |
Now see if that doesn’t take off the chill |
Talk Backwards |
The other day now I was walking down the street |
There’s this little girl I thought I’d like to meet |
I said excuse me miss but |
Sserd taht teg uoy erehw. |
thgin ta tuo emoc |
Yeht srats ekil era hteet ruoy |
And I said am I getting through to you yet |
She said you’re a gent in the first degree |
And I love it when you talk backwards to me |
Talk backwards |
Never can tell, one of these nights |
Those who talk backwards will demand their rights |
They’ll rise up angry and get a solution |
In the form of an amendment to the constitution |
That guarantees 'em freedom of reverse elocution; |
And then every T.V. show that airs |
Will have to be captioned for the forward impaired |
Talk backwards |
Talk backwards |
Talk backwards |
Talk backwards |
