Michael Jackson
Mitchell Brothers Lyrics

Grab your crutch, spin around
Get ready to showcase your skills and perform like Michael Jackson.

Stand on your tippee-toes
Stretch your body and balance yourself to look like Michael Jackson.

Straight into the moonwalk
Begin the dance move that Michael Jackson was famous for.

And then you scream 'Oh'
Express excitement and energy while dancing like Michael Jackson.

You pulled it off then you had a glow
Feeling confident and proud after successfully imitating Michael Jackson's moves.

That kept me in me bedroom with me door closed
The joy of dancing like Michael Jackson was so great that the person stayed in their room practicing his moves.

Bad imitate there, practiced till I aced it
Kept practicing until they had mastered the imitation of Michael Jackson's moves in the song 'Bad'.

Couldn't wait to hit the dance floor and see them faces
Excited to show off the perfected imitation of Michael Jackson's moves and see the amazed faces of the audience.

Thought I would never leave me seat
Was so captivated by Michael Jackson's music videos that they never wanted to stop watching.

Till the DJ put on Billie Jean
But jumped straight to the dance floor as soon as 'Billie Jean' began playing.

That was my time to show off and right
Finally, the chance to display the practiced imitation of Michael Jackson's moves.

Once I was in my black loafers I shined twice
Wearing black loafers, just like Michael Jackson, and feeling twice as confident and impressive.

The only thing missing was the glove
Feeling incomplete without Michael Jackson's iconic glove.

But that didn't stop me strutting my stuff
Still able to give a great performance without the glove.

Kick my legs out, clutch me hat, Throw it to the darling in the back
Performing with great energy and throwing their hat to someone in the audience.

Twist my neck, rub me hands, 1, 2, 3, 4 and
Continuing the dance moves with more energy and enthusiasm.

When I took a deep breath and lifted my head up
Feeling like they could become the next Michael Jackson.

That's when I wanted to be the man in the mirror
Feeling inspired to become a better person and performer, just like Michael Jackson sang in 'Man in the Mirror'.

Right after I saw the zombies in 'Thriller'
Feeling amazed by Michael Jackson's creative genius in his music video 'Thriller'.

I was no longer scared, so I got a copy of 'Bad' on VHS
Feeling no fear and instead inspired to emulate Michael Jackson's moves and got a copy of his music video 'Bad' on VHS.

Stayed up watching it to way past ten
Watching and studying the music video 'Bad' until very late at night.

Played the car park scene over again and again
Rewinding and re-watching the impressive car park scene in the music video to perfect the dance moves.

Religiously like a prayer anywhere I could find a wooden floor
Practicing the dance moves religiously, and searching for any spot with a wooden floor to dance on.

I would have a crack at doing the moonwalk
Attempting to perfect Michael Jackson's signature dance move, the moonwalk.

Till I bounced my back off the wall, woo
Taking risks and practicing the moves perfectly, despite injuring themselves in the process.

I spent half of my days lost in my thoughts
Spending a lot of time daydreaming about dancing like Michael Jackson.

In the middle of stages, standing tall
Imagining themselves performing like Michael Jackson at the center of stages in front of large crowds.

Spinning around, leaving the whole crowd in awe, ooh
In their daydreams, they perform with great energy and skill, leaving the crowd impressed and moved emotionally.

Standing there I could swear I was Michael Jackson
Feeling so confident and proud of their imitation of Michael Jackson that they could swear they were him.

I wish I could move like Michael Jackson
Expressing a strong desire to have the ability to move like Michael Jackson.

Spin around have the world in a gaze
Desiring to spin around like Michael Jackson and have the world be captivated by their performance.

Hit the ground, glide across the stage
Wishing to have the grace and smoothness of Michael Jackson when moving across the stage.

Getting down with my shoulders shakin'
Desiring to dance like Michael Jackson with energy and skill, including his iconic shoulder movements.

Hee, hee, aoow
Repeating Michael Jackson's well-known exclamations to enhance the imitation.
