Let me tell you about a place Somewhere up in 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 Oh man you'll find the old and young Twistin' the night away Twistin', twistin', twistin' the night away Everybody's feeling great They are twistin', twistin' Twistin' the night away Here's a man in evening clothes How he got here I don't know But oh man you ought to see him go Twistin' the night away He's dancing with a chick in slacks She's moving up and back Oh man there ain't nothing like Twistin' the night away Let's twist away feet up feet back Watusi now fly now twist They're twistin' the night away Here's a fellow in blue jeans Dancing with an older queen Who's dolled up in her diamond rings Twistin' the night away Man you ought to see her go Twistin' to the rock and roll Here you'll find the young and old Twistin' the night away
