Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Twist all around (what you say now?)
Twist, twist, señora (come on, come on)
Shake it all night now (one more time now)
Jump, jump, señora (let me hear you now)
Jump all around (come on, come on)
Twist, twist, señora (well, all right)
Well, there's a real swinging dance called the twist now
Come on and get with it
Young and old dance together
Come on and dance, bring your partner
Twist, twist, señora (come on, come on)
Twist all around (well, well, alright)
Twist, twist, señora (yeah, oh, yeah)
The place is hopping now (let me hear you now)
Jump, jump, señora (jump up in the air)
Jump through the night (let me hear you now)
Twist, twist señora (come on, come on)
Twist it all around, well
When I say stick your shoulders, I mean so
Left or right to the temple
And in case you get a notion
Jump in the air, come down in slow motion
Twist, twist, señora (come on, come on)
Twist all around (twist with me now)
Twist, twist, señora (come on, come on)
Shake it up and down (come on, baby)
Jump, jump señora (let me hear you now)
Jump through the night (what you say now?)
Twist, twist, señora (alright, well, alright)
Twist it all around (blow, blow, daddy)
Twist, twist, señora
Twist all around
Twist, twist, señora
Shake it up and down
Jump, jump señora
Jump through the night
Twist, twist, señora
Twist it all around
Twist, twist, señora
Twist all around
Twist, twist, señora
Shake it up and down
I want a pretty girl to assist me
Go with me on up 5th street
And in case she gets a notion
I want her to jump in the air
Come down in slow motion
Twist, twist, señora (come on, come on)
Twist all around (and jump up, jump up)
Twist, twist, señora (yeah, well, alright)
Twist it up and down (shake, baby now)
Jump, jump, señora (yeah, oh, yeah)
Jump through the night (blow, daddy)
