  A / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / / / 5

  Let me tell you 'bout a place

  F#m

     Somewhere on New York Way

  D

   Where the people are so gay

  E7                  A

  Twistin' the night away

  Here they have a lot of fun

  F#m

     Puttin' supper on the run

  D

   Here you find the old and young

  E7                  A

  Twistin' the night away

  

  CHORUS:

  Twistin', twistin', everybody's doin' great

          D                   E7                  A

  They're twistin', twistin', twistin' the night away

  

  Verse 2:

  Here's a man in evening clothes

  How he got here, I don't know, but

  Man, you oughta see him go

  Twistin' the night away

  He's dancin' with a chick in slacks

  She's a-movin' up and back

  Oh man, there ain't nothin' like

  Twistin' the night away

  

  (chorus)

  

  Bridge (same pattern as verses):

  Lean fore!  Lean back!

  Lean fore!  Lean back!

  Watusi!  Now fly!  Now twist!

  Yeah, twistin' the night away

  

  Verse 3:

  Here's a fella in blue jeans

  Dancin' with an older queen

  Who's wearin' diamond rings

  Twistin' the night away

  Man, you oughta see her go

  Twistin' to the rock and roll

  Here you find the young and old

  Twistin' the night away

  

  (chorus)

  (repeat bridge and fade)
