Sdrawkcab Klat (Talk Backwards) Steve Goodman

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'rе a regular talking bassackwards fool
Talk backwards

Talking backwards is the new sеnsation
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
