[Verse 1]
Let me tell you about a place
Somewhere up a New York way
Where the people are so gay
Twisting the night away
Here they have a lot of fun
Putting trouble on the run
Man, you find the old and young
Twisting the night away

[Chorus]
They’re twistin’, twistin’
Everybody’s feeling great
They’re twistin’, twistin’
They’re twistin’ the night away

[Verse 2]
Here’s a man in evening clothes
How he got here, I don’t know, but
Man, you oughta see him go
Twisting the night away
He’s dancing with a chick in slacks
She’s moving up and back
Oh, man, there ain’t nothing like
Twisting the night away
You might also like

[Chorus]
They’re twistin’, twistin’
Everybody’s feeling great
They’re twistin’, twistin’
They’re twistin’ the night

[Bridge]
Let’s twist a while
Lean up
Lean back
Lean up
Lean back
Watusi
Now fly
Now twist
They’re twistin’ the night away

[Verse 3]
Here’s a fella in blue jeans
Dancing with an older queen
Who’s dolled up in her diamond rings and
Twisting the night away
Man, you oughta see her go
Twisting to the rock and roll
Here you find the young and old
Twisting the night away
[Chorus]
They’re twistin’, twistin’, man
Everybody’s feeling great
They’re twistin’, twistin’
They’re twistin’ the night

[Outro]
One more time
Lean up
Lean back
Lean up
Lean back
Watusi
Now fly
Now twist

Many thanks, Leo! What a beautiful sax ya! Thanx 4 sharin’.
i’m trying to pick up the refurbished one i wrote about with you, but the repairer is not anwewring her phone. i will keep you in the loop. Recently i saw a yts 23 on FB Marketplace local for a grand. It had been in a case for the last 30 years. Mint it looked. i shoulda swooped on it but felt loyal to the one i have organised to buy allready. Prob needed repadding anyways. I know not what. All the best mate, keep on tootin’.
