different shell csh bash

I'm always having to work in the cshell, but occasionally want to run a command using bash. is that possible? I know I could write a shell script and call bash at the begining with #!/usr/bin/bash and then my command, is there another way?

Code:

bash -c "command"
i.e. bash -c "cd /tmp; pwd"

or just type in:

Code:

bash

now your running a bash shell until you type in: exit
