 Let me tell ya 'bout the place,

 Somewhere up New York ways.

 Here they have a lot of fun,

 Putting trouble on the run.

 Twisting the night a-way.

 Twisting, twisting,
Everybody's doing great.

They're twisting the night a-way.

 Here's a fella in blue jeans,
Em
 He's dancing with an older queen.

 Chick's dolled up in diamond ring;

 Twisting the night away.

G
 Man you gotta see her go,
Em
 Twisting to the rock'n'roll.

 Man, there ain't nothing like;

 Twisting the night a-way.

Chorus 2:

G
 Twisting, twisting,
Everybody's doing great.

 Twisting the night a-way!.

 Twisting, twisting,
Everybody's doing great.
