Let me tell you 'bout a place  … somewhere up-a New York way
Where the people are so gay  … twistin' the night away-ay 

Here they have a lot of fun … puttin' trouble on the run
Man, you find the old and young … twistin' the night away 

They're twistin' … twistin' … everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin' … twistin' … twistin' the night away

Here's a man in evenin' clothes … how he got here, I don't know, but
Man, you oughta see him go … twistin' the night away-ay

He's dancin' with the chick in slacks … she's a - movin' .. up and ba-a-ack
Man, there ain't nothin' like … twistin' the night away

They're twistin' … twistin' … everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin' … twistin' … twistin' the night away

Lean up .. lean back … Lean up .. lean back
Watusi .. now fly .. now twist … they're twistin' the night away

Here's a fella in bluejeans … dancin' with a older Queen
Who's dolled up in-a diamond rings and … twistin' the night away-ay
Man, you oughta see her go … twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you find the young and old … twistin' the night away

They're twistin' … twistin' … everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin' … twistin' … twistin' the night away

Lean up, lean back … Lean up, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now twist …they're twistin' the night away

They're twistin' … twistin' … twistin' the night away
