(G Em C D)
G C D
Let me tell you 'about a place
Somewhere up in New York way,
Where the people are so gay
Twisting the night away
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin' trouble on the run.
Man, you'll find the old and young
Twisting the night away.
Twisting, twisting, everybody's feeling great,
Twisting, twisting, twisting the night away.
Here's a man in evening clothes,
How he got there I don't know.
Man, you ought to see him go
Twisting the night away.
Dancing with a chick in slacks
She's moving up and back
Man, there ain't nothing like
Twisting the night away.
CHORUS
SOLO --
Lean up! Lean back! Lean up! Lean back!
Watusi! Now fly! Now twist!
Twisting the night away
Here's a fellow in blue jeans
Dancing with an older queen
Dolled up in her diamond rings
Twisting the night away.
Man, you ought to see her go
Twisting to the rock and roll
Here you'll find the young and old
Twisting the night away.
CHORUS (bis) com SOLO
