Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up New York way
Where the people are so gay
Twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun
Putting trouble on the run
Man you find the old and young
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin' (man)
Everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin'
They're twistin' the night (away)
Here's a man in evening clothes
How he got here I don't know
But man, you oughta see him go
Twistin' the night away
He's dancin' with the chick in slacks
She's movin' up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothin' like
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin' (man)
Everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin'
They're twistin' the night (away)
Let's twist a while
Lean out, lean back
Lean out, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now twist
They're twistin' the night away
Here's a fellow in blue jeans
Dancin' with an older queen
Who's dolled up in her diamond rings
And twistin' the night away
Man, you oughta see her go
Twistin' to the rock 'n' roll
Here you find the young and old
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin' (man)
Everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin'
They're twistin' the night (away)
One more time
Lean out, lean back
Lean out, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now twist
They're twistin' the night away…
