Let me tell you `bout a place
Fm
Somewhere on New York Way
D
Where the people are so gay
E7 A
Twistin` the night away
Here they have a lot of fun
Fm
Puttin` supper on the run
D
Here you find the old and young
E7 A
Twistin` the night away
CHORUS:
Twistin`, twistin`, everybody`s doin` great
D E7 A
They`re twistin`, twistin`, 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
Twistin` the night away
He`s dancin` with a chick in slacks
She`s a-movin` up and back
Oh man, there ain`t nothin` like
Twistin` the night away
(chorus)
Bridge (same pattern as verses):
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)
(repeat bridge and fade)
