1. The party was packed, I’m talking back to back,

E

there was a rapper that was rapping, to a beat that was wack.

E

They was going through the motions, out on the dance floor,

E

and when the rapper was done, they wasn’t yelling encore.

E

2. The people were tired of the same old groove,

E

they wanted something def, something new and improved.

E

Something easy to do, but hard to resist,

E

I got something for you all, what do you call it ? The twist !

3. We, we, we broke into the booth, and the records stacks,

E

came up with the twist, and we were scratching the track.

E

People started jamming hard to the funky sound,

E

did the twist down and up, then up and down !

E

4. Then I heard somebody yell : Yo, Chubby’s here !

E

The people took a little pause, just to stop and stare.

E

He said : I’ll show you people, how to twist with style,

E

‘cause I’ve been doing the twist for a long, long while.
