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
