Nothin' But The Twist

(Album: Beach Party - 1963)

Hey, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Do you wanna Cha-cha? (No!)
Do you wanna Pony? (No!)
Do you wanna Twist? (Yeah!)
Well, well, wait a minute
Hold it, hold it, hold it
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
A one, two
A one, two, three, four
Wah-Watusi, Hully-Gully, Limbo, Mash Potato
Birdland, Pony, Jerk, the Popeye and a long list

(There ain't nothin') Nothing but the Twist
(There ain't nothin') Nothing just the Twist
Throw away the list
There ain't nothing but the Twist

There's a lot of dances going around today (There ain't nothing, nothing but the Twist)
One in every city of the USA (There ain't nothing, nothing but the Twist)
Those dances fade away
Up on the grandstand
I hear them say
"Nothing but the Twist", go!

(There ain't nothin') But the Twist
(There ain't nothin') But the ever-loving Twist
Hey, you, throw away the list
There ain't nothing but the Twist

Now, if you know the song, sing along
Everybody, now, come on in

Come on, baby, let's do the Twist (There ain't nothing, nothing but the Twist)
Come on, baby, let's do the Twist (There ain't nothing, nothing but the Twist)
Baby, take my little hand
And go like this (Nothing but the Twist) Hey!

(There ain't nothin') But the Twist in the world
(There ain't nothin') But the ever-loving Twist
Well, there are no Twisters
Like slow, slow Twisting with you, ah let's Twist, hey, hey!

(Ba-ba-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Ba-ba-ba)
(Ba-ba-ba-ba) Go
(Ba-ba-ba-ba) Hey, ho
(Ba-ba-ba-ba) Hey, ho
(Ba-ba-ba-ba) Hey, ho
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Ba-ba-ba) Alright

Let's Twist again like we did last summer
Let's Twist again, Twisting time is here, come on

Let's Twist again, now, like we did last year (There ain't nothing, nothing but the Twist)
Nothing' got away, now, 'cause it's always here (There ain't nothing, nothing but the Twist)
You got a way you shake that thing
I know the Twist is still the king (Nothing but the Twist) go!

(There ain't nothin') But the Twist
(There ain't nothin') But the ever-loving Twist
Ah, there is no way than this, hoo!
There ain't nothing but the Twist, one more time
(There ain't nothin') But the Twist
(There ain't nothin') But the ever-loving Twist
Ah, there is no way than this, hoo!
There ain't nothing but the Twist, everybody

Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Are ya ready? (Yeah)
