Lyrics Twistin' The Night Away

Let me tell you 'bout a place somewhere up a New York way
Where the people are so gay twistin' the night away
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' they're twistin' the night away
How he got here
Man you oughta see him go twistin' the night away
He's dancin' with the chick in slacks she's a-movin' up and back
Oh man there ain't nothin' like twistin' the night away
They're twistin' twistin' everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin' twistin' they're twistin' the night
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
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' they're twistin' the night
