Weeell,. they have to have something new, A dance to do for recreation so someone started twistin', A cat who was really hep, puts down a step To new gyration soon, all the kids were twistin', It didn't take long before the grown-ups were trying it, Who's who was buying it all over town, You see them, a-squirming and a-worming and a-twistin' around, It spread like a fire, it's place 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 puts down a step To new gyration soon, all the kids were twistin', No, it didn't take long before the grown-ups were trying it, Who's who was buying it all over town, You see them, a-squirming and a-worming and a-twisting around It spread like a fire, it's place became a craze That rocks the nation now, everybody's twistin'. Here's a-hopping, and a stopping, and a poppin', Sacro really, ax a bopping, everybody's twistin'. Bop!
