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 evenin' clothes 
 How he got here, I don't know, but 
 Man, you oughta see him go 
 Twistin' the night away-ay   
 He's dancin' with the chick in slacks 
 She's a-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 away 
 Let's twist a while!   
 Lean up, lean back 
 Lean up, lean back 
 Watusi, now fly, now twist 
 They're twistin' the night away 
 Here's a fella in bluejeans 
 Dancin' with a older Queen 
 Who's dolled up in-a diamond rings and 
 Twistin' the night away-ay 
 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 away 
 One more time! 
 Lean up, lean back 
 Lean up, lean back 
 Watusi, now fly, now twist 
 They're twistin' the night away
