Twistin’ the Night Away

Sam Cooke

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
Putting trouble on the run
Man, you find the old and young
Twistin' the night away

They're twistin'
Twistin'
Everybody's feeling 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 dancing with a chick in slacks
She's movin' up and back
Oh, man
There ain't nothin' like twistin' the night away

They're twistin'
Twistin'
Everybody's feeling 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
Dancing 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 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
