  1. this is entirely from memory so it clearly has some mistakes

    yo.
    what's happenin' dude.
    i'm a guy with a rep for being rude
    terrorizing people
    wherever i go
    it's not intentional just keeping the flow
    fixing test scores
    to get the best scores
    dropping banana peels all over the floor
    i'm the kid that almost got a d in art
    last name simpson, first name bart

    i'm here today to introduce the next phase
    the next step in the big bart phase
    i got a dance real easy to do
    i learned it with the rhythm and so can you (ooh).
    so move your body if you've got the notion,
    front and back in a rock like motion
    c'mon and do it if you can (not sure on that line?)
    move it to the music, that's the bartman

    chorus:
    everybody if you can do the bartman
    shake your body turn it up if you can can
    front and back side to side if you can can
    everybody in the house do the bartman

    well it wasn't long ago just a couple of weeks
    i got in trouble, yeah pretty deep
    homer was yelling, mom was too
    because i put mothballs in the beefstew
    punishment time somethingsomethingsomething oo
    i sit by myself confined to my room
    all else fails, nothing else left to do
    i turn on the music so i can feel the groove

    move your body if you got the notion
    front and back in a rock like motion
    move your hips, front side to side now
    don't slip, but let your feet glide now (hup!)
    if you got the groove you gotta use it
    feel the rhythm in time with the music
    just something feel the action (?)
    IF YOU CAN DO THE BART YOU'RE BAD LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON

    (that line is tacet which is just hysterical)

    (chorus)

    (saxophone sounds)
    (spoken)
    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 proove anything!

    (singing again)
    now i'm in the house feeling good to be home, when lisa starts blowing that damn saxophone
    now if it was mine you'd wanna take it away
    but still i'm feeling good so that's ok
    i'm up in my room, just a-singin' a song
    listen to the kick drum kickin' along
    yeah lisa likes jazz she's her number one fan but you know i'm bad cause i do the bart man

    (chorus, repeats)
    (this time in the middle, bart yells "eat your heart out michael).
    (the music "breaks down")
    homer: i broke it!
    bart: wow man.

    of course, the big joke is that michael jackson wrote the song under a pseudonym. now i have to go look up what i got wrong.

  2. Heh. I'm so with you there. I think I could probably reproduce about 80% of the Yellow Album off the top of my head.
