Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up a New York way
Where the people are so gay
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin' trouble on the run
Man, you find the old and young
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
He's dancin' with the chick in slacks
She's a movin' up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothin' like
They're twistin', twistin'
Everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin'
They're twistin' the night
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
Man, you oughta see her go
Twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you find the young and old
They're twistin', twistin'
Man, everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin'
They're twistin' the night
Watusi, now fly, now twist
