TWISTIN THE NIGHT AWAY
written and performed by Sam Cooke
[Verse]
A / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / / / 5
Let me tell you bout a place
Somewhere on New York Way
Where the people are so gay
Twistin the night away
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin supper on the run
Here you find the old and young
Twistin the night away
[Chorus]
Twistin , twistin , everybody s doin great
They re twistin , twistin , twistin the night away
[Verse 2]
Here s a man in evening clothes
How he got here, I don t know, but
Man, you oughta see him go
Twistin the night away
He s dancin with a chick in slacks
She s a-movin up and back
Oh man, there ain t nothin like
Twistin the night away
[Chorus]
Bridge (same pattern as verses):
Lean fore! Lean back!
Lean fore! Lean back!
Watusi! Now fly! Now twist!
Yeah, twistin the night away
[Verse 3]
Here s a fella in blue jeans
Dancin with an older queen
Who s wearin 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
[Chorus]
(repeat bridge and fade)
