Lyrics
Weeell,. 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'.

(musical interlude)

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 poppin', everybody's twistin'. Mop!
