  • Let me tell you 'bout a place
    Somewhere up a New York way
    Where the people are so gay
    Twistin' the night away

    Here they have a lot of fun
    Puttin' trouble on the run
    Man, you find the old and young
    Twistin' the night away

    They're twistin', twistin'
    Everybody's feelin' great
    They're twistin', twistin'
    They're twistin' the night away

    Here's a man in evenin' 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 a movin' up and back
    Oh man, there ain't nothin' like
    Twistin' the night away

    They're twistin', twistin'
    Everybody's feelin' great
    They're twistin', twistin'
    They're twistin' the night
    Let's twist a while

    Lean up, lean back
    Lean up, lean back
    Watusi, now fly, now twist
    They're twistin' the night away

    Here's a fella in blue jeans
    Dancin' with a older queen
    Who's dolled up in a diamond rings and
    Twistin' the night away

    Man, you oughta see her go
    Twistin' to the rock and 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

    One more time

    Lean up, lean back
    Lean up, lean back
    Watusi, now fly, now twist Writer/s: Sam Cooke
