Well, I heard about the fellow you've been dancin' with
All over the neighborhood
So why didn't you ask me, baby?
Oh, didn't you think I could?

Well, I know that the boogaloo is outta sight
But the shing-a-ling's the thing tonight
But if that was you and me a-now, baby
I would have shown you how to do it right

Do it right (uh-huh)
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right
Do it right

Ah, twist it
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby
Hey, we're gonna loop-the-loop
Shake it out, baby
Hey, we're gonna loop-de-la

Bend over, let me see you shake your tail feather
Bend over, let me see you shake your tail feather
Come on, let me see you shake your tail feather
Come on, let me see you shake your tail feather

Ah, twist it
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby
Hey, we're gonna loop-the-loop
Shake it out, baby
Hey, we're gonna loop-de-la

Bend over, let me see you shake your tail feather
Bend over, let me see you shake your tail feather
Come on, let me see you shake your tail feather
Come on, let me see you shake your tail feather

Ah, come on
Come on, baby
Come on
Yeah, come on, baby
Alright, do the twist
Do the fly (oh), do the swim
And do the bird, oh, do the duck
Ah, do the monkey
Hey, hey, Watusi
And, uh, what about the food?
Do the mashed potato
What about the boogaloo?
Oh, the Bony Moronie
Come on, let's do the twist

Ah, twist it
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby
Twist it
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby
