[Backup sings "Get up a-from your chair"
behind the spoken lines below:]
[Bonds, spoken:]
Darling, may I have the pleasure of
having this next twist with you?
[Female, spoken:]
But I don't know how to twist.
[Bonds, spoken:]
You don't know how to twist? Well, let me tell you!
[Bonds, sung:]
Well, now, there's a new dance that's known as the twist.
It's really not new, it's somethin' you`ve missed.
But there's a new dance, that's known as the twist.
It's really not new, it's somethin' you've missed.
Dear lady,
(Get up a-from your chair.)
Dear, dear lady,
(Get up a-from your chair.)
Well, now, 'cause doctors agree, so I've been told,
Do the twist an' you'll never grow old.
Well, one night I happened to go to a dance,
Believin' I'd find me some romance.
An' this old lady I happened to see,
I said, "Come on, baby, do the twist with me."
Dear lady,
(Get up a-from your chair.)
Oh, dear lady,
(Get up a-from your chair.)
Oh, well, now, the doctors agree, so I've been told,
Do the twist an' you'll never grow old.
[Instrumental Break with backup singing
"Get up a-from your chair"
and interjections from Gary "U.S." Bonds:]
Baby, yeah.
C'mon, pretty baby.
Get up an' do the twist now.
Yes, oh, yes!
Well, I said, "I'd love to dance from now until dawn."
She said, "Crazy, baby, but I'm almost gone."
I said, "Now the rhythm is getting real sweet,
But this is no time to slow up your feet."
Dear lady,
(Get up a-from your chair.)
Dear, dear lady,
(Get up a-from your chair.)
Well, now, 'cause doctors agree, so I've been told,
Do the twist an' you'll never grow old.
You gotta do the twist!
Yeah, petty baby!
You gotta do the twist!
Get up, c'mon, an' get up!
Get up, pretty baby!
Come on! Come on!
Get up an' do the twist!
Do the twist now, baby!
Get up, dear lady, yeah!
[Fade.]
Come, come on!
Dear lady!
