The Twist

Originally performed by Chubby Checker
It hit the # 1 spot on the top 40 charts in August, 1960
In 1961 it re-entered the charts and returned to # 1
Except for "White Christmas", it was the only record in history to re-enter the charts and go back to #1


Come on baby lets do the twist
Come on baby, lets do the twist
Take me by the little hand
And go like this

Twist, Twist, oooh yeah just like this
Come on little miss, and do the twist
Round and round and round and round we go
Round and round and round round round we go
Round and round and round and round we go

My daddy is sleepin, and momma ain't around
Yeah daddy's just sleepin, and momma ain't around
Were gonna twist, a twist a twistin
Till we tear the house down.

Twist, Twist, oooh yeah just like this
Come on little miss, and do the twist
Round and round and round and round we go
Round and round and round round round we go
Round and round and round and round we go

Yeah you should see, my little sis
You should see, my my little sis
She really knows how to rock
She knows how to twist

Twist, Twist, oooh yeah just like this
Come on little miss, and do the twist
Round and round and round and round we go
Round and round and round round round we go
Round and round and round and round we go
