Super-country, evangelic, rockabilly, psychaedelic cowboy
There's a new branch on the family-tree
An' it all starts right here with me, yeah

I'm a super-country, evangelic, rockabilly, psychaedelic cowboy
I'm a "Twist 'n Shout", an' they keep breakin',

There's a new branch on the family-tree
An' it all starts right here with me, yeah

Oh, there's a new branch on the family-tree
An' it all starts right here with me, yeah

I'm a super-country, evangelic, rockabilly, psychaedelic cowboy
I'm a "Twist 'n Shout", an' they keep breakin',
Puts the move on you right now boy
Get up outta your seat
There's a new branch on the family-tree
An' it all starts right here with me, yeah
