Once upon a time
there was this guy
called Johny.
He was kinda shy
And so in love with Connie.
But so was O-smarty
who played it cool,
the king of the party,
but oh what a fool.

He didn't know
How to twist.
He didn't know
how to make a girl insist.
He didn't know to move,
He didn't feel the groove.
He did'nt know how to twist.

Uuuuuu Twist
He didn't know how to twist

Once upon a night
There was a guy called Johny.
He was kinda high
and dancing with his honey.
The Queen of the party
Proclaimed him king while poor ol'O Smarty.
Was left in the ring.

He didn't know
how to twist.
He didn't know
how to make a girl insist.
He didn't know to move,
He didn't feel the groove.
He didn't know how to twist.

Uuuuuu Twist
He didn't know how to twist
He didn't know how to move,
he didn't feel the groove.
He didn't know how to twist.

Instrumental

A twist of love.
A twist of pain.
A twist of me and you.
A twist of things
you can't explain
will make your
dream come true.

Be sure you know
how to twist.
Be sure you know
how to make a girl insist.
Be sure you know how to move,
be sure you feel the groove.
Be sure you know how to twist.

Uuuuuu Twist
Be sure you know how to twist

Be sure you know how to move,
be sure you feel the groove.
Be sure you know how to twist.

Be sure you know how to move,
be sure you feel the groove.
Be sure you know how to twist.
