Lyrics

Come on, baby, let's do the twist
Come on, baby, let's do the twist
Take me by my little hand and go like this
Yeah, twist, baby, baby
Twist, ooh yeah, just like this
Come on, little miss, and do the twist
My daddy is sleepin' and mama ain't around
Yeah, daddy's just sleepin' and mama ain't around
We're gonna twisty, twisty, twisty
Till we tear the house down
Come on and twist, yeah, baby
Twist, ooh yeah, just like this
Come on, little miss, and do the twist, yeah
Yeah, you should see my little sis
You should see my, my little sis
She really knows how to rock
She knows how to twist
Come on and twist, yeah, baby
Twist, ooh yeah, just like this
Come on, little miss, and do the twist
Yeah, rock on now
Yeah, twist on now, twist
