Let me tell ya 'bout the place,

Somewhere up New York ways

where the people are so gay,

Twisting the night away

Here they have a lot of fun,

Putting trouble on the run

Man there ain't nothing like,

Twisting the night a-way

Twisting, Twisting

Everybody's doing great

Twisting, twisting

They're twisting the night a-way

Here's a fella in blue jeans,

He's dancing with an older queen

Chick's dolled up in diamond ring,

Twisting the night away

Man you gotta see her go,

Twisting to the rock'n'roll

Man, there ain't nothing like,

Twisting the night a-way

Twisting, Twisting

Everybody's doing great

Twisting, twisting

They're twisting the night a-way

Lean up

Lean back

Lean up

Lean back

Wa-tusi

Fly

Now twist

They're twisting the night a-way

Here's a man in evening clothes,

How he got here I don't know

Man you gotta see him go,

Twisting the night away

He's dancing with a chick in slacks,

This chick's moving up and back

Man, there ain’t nothing like,

Twisting the night a-way!

Twisting, Twisting

Everybody's doing great

Twisting, twisting

They're twisting the night a-way

Lean up

Lean back

Lean up

Lean back

Wa-tusi

Fly

Now twist

They're twisting the night a-way
