Twistin The Night Away (Sam Cooke cover)
original by: Sam Cooke

from The NOLA Treblemakers: Back To One! (2023 December 06) (2:45)
Let me tell you bout a place somewhere up the New York way
Where the people are so gay twistin the night away
Man they havin so much fun puttin trouble on the run
Here you find the old and young twistin the night away

They're twistin twistin, yes sir everybody's feelin great
Twistin, twistin they are twistin the night away

There's a man in evening clothes, how he got here, I don't know
Man you oughta see him go twistin the night away
Dancin with that chick in slacks, she's a-movin up and back
Yeah there ain't nothin like twistin the night away

We're twistin twistin, yes ma'am everybody's feelin great
Twistin, twistin they are twistin the night away
Let's twist awhile
Lean front
Lean up
Lean back
Lean up
Watusi
Do that slide
Now do that twist
Yes sir twistin the night away

There's a fella in blue jeans dancin with that older queen
She's all dolled up in them diamond rings, 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, yes sir everybody's feelin great
Twistin, twistin they are twistin the night away
One more time!
Lean front
Lean up
Lean back
Lean front
Watusi
Do that slide
Whoo do that twist
Yes yes sir twistin that night away
