Well, they had to have something new,
A dance to do for recreation
So someone started twistin',

A cat who was really hep, put down a step
A new gyration soon
All the kids were twistin',

It didn't take long
Before the grown-ups were trying it,
Who's who was buying it all over town,
You see them, a-squirming and a-worming and a-twistin' around,

It spread like a forest blaze, became a craze
That rocks the nation now
Everybody's twistin'.

Well oh well oh well oh well
They had to have something new,
A dance to do for recreation so
Someone started twistin',

And a cat who was really hep, he put down a step
A new gyration soon
All the kids were twistin',

No, it didn't take long 
before the grown-ups were trying it,
Who's who was buying it all over town,
You'll see them, a-squirming and a-worming and a-twisting around

It spread like a forest blaze, became a craze
That rocks the nation now,
Everybody's twistin'.

There's a-hopping, and a slopping, and a floppin',
Sacroilliac's a popping
Everybody's twistin'.  

Bop!
