Well, they have to have something new
A dance to do for recreation so someone started twistin'
A cat who was really hep, puts down a step

To 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 fire, its place 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 puts down a step
To 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 see them, a-squirming
And a-worming and a-twisting around

It spread like a fire, its place became a craze
That rocks the nation now, everybody's twistin'
Here's a-hopping, and a stopping, and a poppin'
Sacro really, ax a bopping, everybody's twistin'. Bop!
