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

Well I know that the boogaloo is outta sight
But to shake a leisure thing tonight
Would it happen to me and you baby?
I wanna show you how to do it right

Do it right Uh huh Do it right Do it right, do it right, do it right,
do it right!
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[Chorus]

Twist it! Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it baby!
Here we go loop di loo!
Shake it out baby!
Here we go loop di lie!

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

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[Chorus] (again!)

Come on! Come on babe! Come on! Yeah come on babe!

Alright!

Do the twist!

Do the fly!

Do the swim!

(Ha! Ha! Ha!)

And do the bird!

(Oh!)

Do the duck!

(Ah!)

Do the monkey!

(Hey! Hey!)

Watootsie!

And the what about the food?

Do the mashed potato!

What about the boogaloo?

The Boney Muroney!

Come on! Let's do the twist!

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Twist it! Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it baby! (bis)

(Oh!)

Twist it! Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it baby!
