Let me tell you 'bout a place 
F#m 
   Somewhere on New York Way 
D 
 Where the people are so gay 
E7                  A 
Twistin' the night away 
Here they have a lot of fun 
F#m 
   Puttin' supper on the run 
D 
 Here you find the old and young 
E7                  A 
Twistin' the night away 
 
Chorus: 
Twistin', twistin', everybody's doin' great 
        D                   E7                  A 
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)
