Intro:
,
Verse 1:
Let me tell ya 'bout the place,
Somewhere up New York ways.
Where the people are so gay;
Twisting the night away.
Here they have a lot of fun,
Putting trouble on the run.
Man there ain't nothing like;
Twisting the night a-way.
Chorus 1:
Twisting, Twisting, everybody's doing great.
Twisting, Twisting, they're Twisting the night a-way.
Verse 2:
Here's a fella in blue jeans,
He's dancing with an older queen.
Chick's dolled up in diamond ring;
Twisting the night away.
Man, you gotta see her go,
Twisting to the rock'n'roll.
Man, there ain't nothing like;
Twisting the night a-way.
Chorus 2:
Twisting, Twisting, everybody's doing great.
Twisting, Twisting, they're Twisting the night a-way.
(Let's Twist awhile);
Break:
Lean up, lean back, lean up, lean back.
Wa-tusi, Fly, now Twist, they're Twisting the night a-way.
Verse 4:
Here's a man in evening clothes,
How he got here I don't know.
Man, you gotta see him go;
Twisting the night away.
He's dancing with a chick in slacks,
This chick's moving up and back.
Man, there ain't nothing like;
Twisting the night a-way.
Chorus 3:
Twisting, Twisting, everybody's doing great.
Twisting, Twisting, they're Twisting the night a-way.

Lean up, lean back, lean up, lean back.
Wa-tusi, Fly, now Twist, they're Twisting the night a-way
