weeell they had to have something new
a dance to do for recreation so someone started twistin’
a cat who was really hep put down a step
a new gyration soon all the kids were twistin’
it didn’t take long before the grownups were trying it
who’s who was buying it all over town
you see them asquirming and aworming and atwistin’ around
it spread like a forest blaze became a craze
that rocks the nation now everybody’s twistin’
musical interlude
well oh well oh well oh well they had to have something new
a dance to do for recreation so someone started twistin’
and a cat who was really hep he put down a step
a new gyration soon all the kids were twistin’
no it didn’t take long before the grownups were trying it
who’s who was buying it all over town
you’ll see them asquirming and aworming and atwisting around
it spread like a forest blaze became a craze
that rocks the nation now everybody’s twistin’
there’s ahopping and a slopping and a floppin’
sacroilliac’s a popping everybody’s twistin’ bop
