Sam Cooke — Twistin the Night Away

[Verse 1] Let me tell you about a place Somewhere up a New York way Where the people are so gay Twisting the night away Here they have a lot of fun Putting trouble on the run Man, you find the old and young Twisting the night away [Chorus] They're twistin', twistin' Everybody's feeling great They're twistin', twistin' They're twistin' the night away [Verse 2] Here's a man in evening clothes How he got here, I don't know, but Man, you oughta see him go Twisting the night away He's dancing with a chick in slacks She's moving up and back Oh, man, there ain't nothing like Twisting the night away [Chorus] They're twistin', twistin' Everybody's feeling great They're twistin', twistin' They're twistin' the night [Bridge] Let's twist a while Lean up Lean back Lean up Lean back Watusi Now fly Now twist They're twistin' the night away [Verse 3] Here's a fella in blue jeans Dancing with an older queen Who's dolled up in her diamond rings and Twisting the night away Man, you oughta see her go Twisting to the rock and roll Here you find the young and old Twisting the night away [Chorus] They're twistin', twistin', man Everybody's feeling great They're twistin', twistin' They're twistin' the night [Outro] One more time Lean up Lean back Lean up Lean back Watusi Now fly Now twist
