(Ahhhh, twist! )
(Twist! )

(Do the peppermint twist! )
(Twist! )
(Do the peppermint twist! )

Every lovin' mama gonna twist the whole night through

(Twist! )
(Do the peppermint twist! )
(Twist! )
(Do the peppermint twist! )

It's done in Harlem and down in the Village
And Park Avenue too

[CHORUS]

Wiggle your head, move your arms
Swing your hips, do no harm
Lift your leg, put it down
Then you go 'round and 'round

(Twist! )
(Do the peppermint twist! )
(Twist! )
(Do the peppermint twist! )

We taught you to dance
Now the rest is up to you
(Peppermint twist)

[Repeat CHORUS]

(Twist! )
(Do the peppermint twist! )
(Twist! )
(Do the peppermint twist! )

We taught you to dance
Now the rest is up to you
(Peppermint twist)
