Hey everybody wherever you are

They've got a new way of talking and it's

Gonna go far; you take the letters in the

Words, turn 'em around; say the last one

First and check out the sound, Talk Backwards



I know what you're thinking; that it sure sound strange

You 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 give your palate

A lift. You take your favorite phrase, 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 the new sensation,

Talking backwards is sweeping the nation

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



Just the otherday I was walking down the street

And there was 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 eki I 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



You never can tell, but one of the 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
