The Twist

(album: Coming Back Hard Again - 1988)

Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee, Twist
Aah, we're back

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

The party was packed, I'm talking back to back
There was a rapper that was rapping to a beat that was wack
They was going through the motions out on the dance floor
An' when the rapper was done they wasn't yelling encore
The people were tired of the same old groove
They wanted something def, something new and improved
Something easy to do but hard to resist
I got something for y'all, what do you call it? The Twist!

Come on baby, let's do The Twist
Chubby Checker and the Fat Boys, we're doing The Twist
Take us by our little hands and go like this

We, we, we broke into the booth and the record stacks
Came up with The Twist and we were scratching the track
People started jamming hard to the funky sound
Did The Twist down and up, then up and down
Then I heard somebody yell: "Yo Chubby's here"
The people took a little pause just to stop and stare
He said: "I'll show you people how to Twist with style
'Cause I've been doing The Twist for a long long while"

Oh you should see Prince Markie Dee
Check out that Kool Rock is rocking like me
Here comes B-Beat Box, come on, do it Buffy

Com' com' com' come on baby
Com' com' com' com' come on baby
Ooh ooh do do do The Twist
Ooh ooh do do do The Twist

Come on baby, let's do The Twist
Chub and the Fat Boys, we're doing The Twist
Take the world by the hand and do The Twist

Chubby took my sister down to the dance floor
Did The Twist so def, the crowd yelled for more
So I pulled it with my mussle, did my flow with my coil
And when Buff did the Limbo we was rocking the world

Come on baby, let's do The Twist
Chubby Checker and the Fat Boys, we're doing The Twist
Take the world by the hand and go like this

Hey hey, England, do The Twist, Twist
And France, do The Twist, Twist
Ha ha ha, Holland, do The Twist, Twist
And Germany, do The Twist, Twist
And all over Europe, do The Twist, Twist, do The Twist, Twist

(Ha ha ha ha) come on baby
(Twist to the left, Twist to the right) let's do The Twist
(Twist up and down, Twist all night)
Chubby Checker (come on, come on) and the Fat Boys
(Come on, come on, come on, come on) we're doing The Twist
(Come on, come on, come on) take us by our little hands
And go like this

Oh yeah, and do The Twist
Yeah, just like me
Ooh yeah, and do The Twist
Oh yeah
