Do the Bartman (1990)
(Homer)
Bart. Bart. Bart. Bart !
(Bart) I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove anything.
G - F - G - F (4x)
G F
1. Yo ! Hey, what's happening, dude ?
G
F
I'm the guy with the rep for
being rude.
G F
Terrorizing people wherever I
go,
G F
it's
not intentional, just keepin' the flow.
G
F
Fixin'
test scores to get the best scores,
G
F
droppin' banana peels all over the floor.
G
F
I'm the kid that made
delinquency an art,
G
F
last
name Simpson, first name Bart.
G F
I'm here today to introduce
the next phase,
G F
the
next step in the big Bart craze.
G F
I've got a dance real, easy to
do,
G F
I learned it with no rhythm,
and so can you.
G F
So move your body if you've
got the notion,
G F
front
to back in a rock-like motion.
G F
Now that you've got it, if you
think you can,
G
F
do it
to the music - that's the Bartman.
G F
Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman,
G F
shake
your body, turn it out if you can, man !
G F
Front to the back, to the side if you can, can,
G F
everybody
in the house do the Bartman !
+ repeat CHORUS
G F
2. It wasn't long ago, just a couple of weeks,
G F
I got in trouble, yeah, pretty
deep.
G F
Homer was yellin',
Mom was, too,
G F
because
I put mothballs in the beef stew.
G
F
Punishment time, in the air
lurks gloom,
G F
sitting
by myself, confined to my room.
G F
When all else fails, nothin' else left to do,
G F
I turn on the music, so I can
feel the groove.
G F
Move your body, if you've got
the notion,
G F
front
to back in a rock-like motion !
G F
Move you hips
from side to side now.
G F
don't
ya slip, let your feet glide now !
G F
If ya
got the groove, ya gotta
use it,
G F
light
rhythm in time with the music.
G F
You just might start a chain
reaction,
G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
if
you can do the Bart, you're bad like Michael Jackson.
G F
Everybody, if you can, do the Bartman,
G F
shake
your body, turn it out if you can, man !
G F
Front to the back, to the side if you can, can,
G F
everybody
in the house do the Bartman !
+ repeat CHORUS
G F
+ Do the Bartman! Do the Bartman !
G F
Everybody
back and forth, from side to side.
G F
Do the Bartman!
Do the Bartman !
G F
Pick your feet up off the
floor, let 'em glide!
G F
Do the Bartman!
Do the Bartman !
G F
She can do it,
he can do it, so can I.
G F
Do the Bartman!
Do the Bartman !
G F
Now here's a dance beat that
you can't deny.
+ Bb - C - Bb - C (2x)
(Homer) Turn it down! Will you stop
that infernal racket?!
(Back) DO THE BARTMAN!!!
(Lisa plays saxophone) + G - F - G - F (2x)
(Bart) Oh, my ears! Lisa! Put that saxophone away!
You can't touch this. (clatter)
I didn't do it. Nobody saw me
do it. You can't prove anything. …..
