"**Can You (Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist?)**" is a song from the *Fun and Games* album and video. It is one of The Wiggles Experience's most successful songs.

## Lyrics

Can you point your fingers and do the twist?

Can you point your fingers and do the twist?

Well, we're gonna go up and go down

Get back up and turn around

Can you point your fingers and do the twist?

Can you stand on one foot and shake your hands?

Can you stand on one foot and shake your hands?

Now, we're gonna go up and go down

Get back up and turn around

Can you stand on one foot and shake your hands?

Can you point your fingers and do the twist?

Can you point your fingers and do the twist?

Now, we're gonna go up and go down

Get back up and turn around

Can you point your fingers and do the twist?

Then when the 2013 live studio version was uploaded on YouTube on September 28th 2017, it contained a prologue before the song, which was deleted for time constraints on the 1st season of *Ready, Steady, Wiggle!*.

* Although the 1982 Tour version appeared in "Musclewoman Madeline", it's unknown if it was used again on the initial EBN broadcast of "Your Body".
* When this was performed during the Celebration tour, there were times when all 4 of The Wiggles did the actions to the song & there were times when Janelle played the drums during some shows with Madeline on electric guitar, Mitchell on keyboard and vocals & Joshua doing the actions with The Wiggly Dancers.
