The Twist

Featuring Chubby Checker

Hee hee hee hee
Twist

Ahh, 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
And 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 hand
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
He's rocking like me

Here comes B-Beat Box
Come on, do it, Buffy

Come on, baby
Come, come, come
Come, come on, baby

Do, do, do, do the twist
Do, 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 Ponyed with my mother
Did the Fly with my goil
And when Buff did the Limbo
We was rocking the world

Come on, baby
Let's do the twist
Chubby Checkers
And the Fat Boys
We're doing the twist

Take the world by the hand
And go like this

Hey, the West coast
And on the East coast
And in the South
And in the North

And all over the world
What time is it?

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
