Текст песни:

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

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
