You know, I was walkin' down the street here the other day

I saw a friend of mine

He said, hey Jerry, what you doing, boy

I said aw you know, been twistin' around here and there

Ooh, feels so good

Been twistin', I been twistin', till the break of day

I bet the old folks missed it and the children too

But there ain't nobody twistin' like me and you

We've been twistin, twistin', till the break of day

I said, did you know somethin', boy

I was layin' in my bed the other night

And I heard mama and papa a talkin'

I heard mama tell papa

You know papa, he just slipped right back over and he told mama

About something he heard, and mama told papa, don't you believe a word

I been twistin, twistin' till the break of day

Yeah, all right twistin'

Uh-uh

Then me and that friend of mine, we just mosied on down the street a little bit further, you know, still talkin' gypsy

Said, tell me something, Jerry, what else has happened man?

I said whoo, I feel so good

I been twistin, been twistin', till the break of day

And the old folks missed it and tell it true

There ain't nobody twistin' like me and you

Twistin' till the break of day

Everybody's twistin', everybody's twistin'

Mama's twistin' too, mama's papa's twistin' too

And the childrens twistin', and the babies twistin'

Got the whole house twistin'

Ooh, I don't know where they gonna be twistin' next...
