Oh (Oh), ay (ay), ay (ay), oh (oh), ay

Gonna twist it up (Gonna twist it up)
Gonna twist it down (Gonna twist it down)
Gonna twist it out, woah (Gonna twist it out)
Gonna twist it 'round (Gonna twist it 'round)
Hey girl, let's twirl, let's twist

Gonna shake it up (Gonna shake it up)
Gonna break it up (Gonna break it up)
Gonna whip it up, woah (Gonna whip it up)
Gonna twist about (Gonna twist about)
Hey child, go wild, let's twist

So baby, go (go), go (go), go (go), go (go)

Oh baby, go (go), go (go), go (go), go (go)
Got my eyes on you

Gonna twist it up (Gonna twist it up)
Gonna rip it up (Gonna rip it up)
Gonna run it down, hoo (Gonna run it down)
Twist it 'round 'n' 'round (Twist it 'round 'n' 'round)
Hey shout, work out, let's twist


Everybody
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ay-ay-ay-ay (Ay-ay, ay, ay)

Oh (oh), ay (ay), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh

Gonna twist it up (Gonna twist it up)
Gonna twist it down (Gonna twist it down)
Gonna twist it out, woo (Gonna twist it out)
Twist it 'round 'n' round (Twist it 'round 'n' 'round)
Let loose, let loose, let's twist

I'm gonna hit the floor (Gonna hit the floor)
Gonna twist some more (Gonna twist some more)
If the roof comes off, you sign off (If the roof comes off)
Gonna fall in love (Gonna fall in love)
Hey girl, let's twirl, let's twist

So baby, go (go), go (go), go (go), go (go)

Oh baby, go (go), go (go), go (go), go (go)
Got my eyes on you

Gonna twist it up (Gonna twist it up)
