Verse 2:
Here's a man in evening clothes
How he got here, I don't know, but
Man, you oughta see him go
Twistin' the night away

She's a-movin' up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothin' like
Twistin' the night away

Lean fore! Lean back!
Lean fore! Lean back!
Watusi! Now fly! Now twist!
Yeah, twistin' the night away
Verse 3:
Here's a fella in blue jeans
Dancin' with an older queen
Who's wearin' diamond rings
Twistin' the night away
Man, you oughta see her go
Twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you find the young and old
Twistin' the night away
(chorus)
