Lyrics

[Chorus]

Come on, baby, let's do the twist

Come on, baby, let's do the twist

Take me by my little hand and go like this

Yeah, twist, baby, baby, twist

Ooh-yeah, just like this

Come on, little miss, and do the twist

[Verse 1]

My daddy is sleepin' and mama ain't around, yeah

Daddy's just sleepin' and mama ain't around

We're gonna twisty-twisty-twistin' till we tear the house down

Come on and twist, yeah, baby, twist

Ooh-yeah, just like this

Come on, little miss, and do the twist

[Verse 2]

Yeah, you should see my little sis

You should see my, my little sis

She really knows how to rock, she knows how to twist

Come on and twist, yeah, baby, twist

Ooh-yeah, just like this

Come on, little miss, and do the twist

[Outro]

Yeah, that's alright

Yeah, twist on, now

Twist
