Sam Cooke - Twisting The Night Away (lyrics)

Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up-a New-York way
Where the people are so gay
Twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin' trouble on the run
Man, you find the old and young
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evenin' clothes
How he got here, I don't know, but
Man, you oughta see him go
Twistin' the night away-ay
He's dancin' with the chick in slacks
She's a-movin' up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothin' like
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Let's twist a while!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now twist
They're twistin' the night away
Here's a fella in bluejeans
Dancin' with a older Queen
Who's dolled up in-a diamond rings and
Twistin' the night away-ay
Man, you oughta see her go
Twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you find the young and old
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', man, everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
One more time!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now twist
They're twistin' the night away

[GuineverePendragon]

I'm 22 and I love this song!!!! But i was raised on REAL music :) xxxx

[AlG214]

@chedizl How about Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Aloe Blacc, Eli "Paperboy" Reed, Janelle Monae, Black Joe Reed, the Roots, Cee Lo Green, Lee Fields...

And that's only in the soul/R&B genre.

@TheGidgetinator Go watch Inner Space. This song features in an epic scene in that very fun movie.

@ThepwningButterbean I partially agree. I'd rather just have a time machine though. Apart from the music, that era was the Dark Ages of entertainment. Though I guess people were happier then. Never having experienced the new fangled forms of entertainment means they couldn't miss it. This song is so happy and cheerful. These days it'd likely just be the soundtrack for someone getting mugged.

@persebra Yeah those rappers give me the giggles. Play a great song and talk over the top of it... Under the mistaken impression that having the last word of each sentence rhyme with the previous makes them great rappers and the song better. Jay Zed! I'm talking about you! Crap Rapper Extraordinaire! He's not a rapper he's a magician actually. How else could he dupe people into giving him all that money without some powerful magic?

@chedizl There's something wrong with your statement. It's too long. You need to remove the section that says "WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF TECHNOLOGIES HELP". Then your statement will be FACT!
