Everybody's Twistin'

(album: The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings - Disc 03 - 1995)

Weeell, they have to have something new,
A dance to do for recreation so someone started twisting,
A cat who was really hep, puts down a step
To new gyration soon, all the kids were twisting,
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, its place became a craze
That rocks the nation now, everybody's twisting.

[musical interlude]

Well oh well oh well oh well, they had to have something new,
A dance to do for recreation so someone started twisting,
And a cat who was really hep, he puts down a step
To new gyration soon, all the kids were twisting,
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, its place became a craze
That rocks the nation now, everybody's twisting.
Here's a-hopping, and a stopping, and a popping,
Sacro really, ax a bopping, everybody's twisting. Bop!
