Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up a New York way
Where the people are so gay
Twistin' the night away
[Verse 2]
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man, you'll find the old and young
Twistin' the night away
[Verse 3]
Here the man in evenin' clothes
How he got here, I don't know, but
Oh man, you oughta see him go
Twistin' the night away
[Verse 4]
He's dancing with a chick in slacks
She's movin' up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothing like
Twistin' the night away
[Verse 5]
Guitar
[Verse 6]
Feel much better, yeah
[Verse 7]
Here the fella in blue jeans
Who's dancin' with the older queen
Kind who's dolled up in a diamond ring
Twistin' the night away
[Verse 8]
Man, you oughta see her go
Twistin' to the rock 'n' roll
Here you'll find the young and the old
Twistin' the night away
[Verse 9]
They're twistin', twistin'
Everybody's doin' great, yeah
They're twistin', man, twistin'
Yeah, they're twistin' the night away
[Verse 10]
Twistin', you know they're twistin', yeah
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin'
Man, twistin' the night away
[Verse 11]
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man, you'll find young and old
Twistin' the night away
[Verse 12]
Here the man in evenin' clothes
How he got here, I don't know, I don't know, but
Man, you oughta see him go
Twistin' the night away
