Come on, baby let's do the twist
Come on, baby let's do the twist
Take me by my little hand and go like this

Ee oh twist, baby, twist (round and round and a round and a)
Just, just like this, ('round and a round) come on little miss
And do the twist (round and a round)

While daddy is round sleeping and mama ain't a round
While daddy is sleeping and mama ain't a round
We're gonna twisty, twisty, twisty until we tear the house down

Ee oh twist, baby, baby, twist, (round and round and a round and a)
Just, just like this, (round and a round) come on, little miss
And do the twist (round and a round)

You should see my little sis,
You should see my little sis,
She knows how to rock and she knows how to twist

Ee oh twist, baby, baby, twist, (round and round and a round and a)
Just, just like this, ('round and a round)
Come on little miss and do the twist
