| Weeell,. |
| they had to have something new,
|
| A dance to do for recreation so someone started twistin',
|
| A cat who was really hep, put down a step
|
| A new gyration soon, all the kids were twistin',
|
| It didn’t take long before the grown-ups were trying it,
|
| Who’s who was buying it all over town,
|
| You see them, a-squirming and a-worming and a-twistin' around,
|
| It spread like a forest blaze, became a craze
|
| That rocks the nation now, everybody’s twistin'.

|
| Well oh well oh well oh well, they had to have something new,
|
| A dance to do for recreation so someone started twistin',
|
| And a cat who was really hep, he put down a step
|
| A new gyration soon, all the kids were twistin',
|
| No, it didn’t take long before the grown-ups were trying it,
|
| Who’s who was buying it all over town,
|
| You’ll see them, a-squirming and a-worming and a-twisting around
|
| It spread like a forest blaze, became a craze
|
| That rocks the nation now, everybody’s twistin'.
|
| There’s a-hopping, and a slopping, and a floppin',
|
| Sacroilliac’s a popping, everybody’s twistin'. |
| Bop! |
