The Twist
by Chubby Checker

Come on baby
Let's do the twist
Come on baby
Let's do the twist
Take me by my little hand
And go like this

E-yah twist
Baby, baby twist
Oh yeah, just like this
Come on little miss and do the twist

My daddy is sleepin'
And mama ain't around
Yeah, daddy just sleepin'
And mama ain't around
We're gonna twisty twisty twisty
Till we tear the house down

Come on and twist
Yeah, baby twist
Oh yeah, just like this
Come on little miss and do the twist
E-yah

('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)

('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)

Yeah, you should see my little sis'
You should see my my little sis'
She really knows how to rock
She knows how to twist

Come on and twist
Yeah, baby twist
Oh yeah, just like this
Come on little miss and do the twist

('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
Yeah
That's all now
Yeah, twist all night
Twist
('Round and 'round and 'round)

In September 2008, "The Twist" topped Billboard's list of the most popular singles to have appeared in the Hot 100 since its debut in 1958.

He was born in Spring Gulley, SC, USA, and raised in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended South Philadelphia High School with Frankie Avalon and Fabian. The wife of American Bandstand's host Dick Clark suggested the name "Chubby Checker" to Evans as a take-off on then-popular singer Fats Domino. In 1964, he married Catharina Lodders, a Dutch girl who had been Miss World in 1962.

His material during his 1960s heyday was recorded for Cameo-Parkway Records and along with the label's other material, became unavailable after the early 1970s because of the company's internal legal disputes. For decades, almost all compilations of Checker's hits consisted of re-recordings.
