| I’m not a fashion and I ain’t no swell
|
| But how can you hold me when you’re twistin' over there
|
| Now let’s try a waltzin' rhythm beat
|
| So you can hold me in your arms and kiss my cheek
|
| Now ain’t that better baby ain’t that better baby
|
| Than twistin' way over there
|
| I was doin' the cha-cha-cha and the shimmy too
|
| And all the time I wasn’t even close to you
|
| And now let’s try a waltzin' rhythm beat
|
| So that I can whisper that I love you from your head to your feet
|
| Now ain’t that better baby ain’t that better baby
|
| Than twistin' way over there
|
| Yeah mama and papa had a big evenin' out
|
| When they were waltzin' around and about
|
| Papa never let her out of his sight
|
| He kept his two arms wrapped around her tight
|
| Stay in my arms until this dance is through
|
| Pay no attention to the kids that look at you
|
| And then let’s try a waltzin' rhythm beat
|
| It’s by for the coolest way for loves to meet
|
| Now ain’t that better baby ain’t that better baby
|
| Than twistin' way over there
|
| (sax)
|
| Yeah mama and papa had a big evenin' out…
|
| Stay in my arms until this dance is through…
|
| Now ain’t that better baby ain’t that better baby
|
| Than twistin' way over there
|
| Now ain’t that better baby ain’t that better baby |
