Twistin' the Night Away lyrics

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 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 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 feelin' great

They're twistin', twistin'

They're twistin' the night

Let's twist a while

(Lean up)

(Lean back)

(Lean up)

(Lean back)

(Watussi)

(Now fly)

(Now twist)

They're twistin' the night away

Here's a fella 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 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)

(Watussi)

(Now fly)

(Now twist)
