VERSE 1:
[A#] Let me tell you 'bout a place, [Gm] somewhere up the New York Way
[D#] Where the people are so gay, [F7] twistin' the night away

[D#] Man you find the old and young, [F7] twistin' the night a-[A#]-way

They're [D#] twistin', twistin', [F7] twistin' the night a-[A#]-way

VERSE 2:
[A#] Here's a man in evening clothes, [Gm] how he got here, I don't know
[D#] But man, you oughta see him go, [F7] twistin' the night away

BRIDGE:
[A#] Lean up, lean [Gm] back
Lean [D#] up, lean [F7] back

They're, [F7] twistin' the night a-[A#]-way

VERSE 3:
[A#] Here's a fella in blue jeans, [Gm] dancin' with an older queen
[D#] Who's dolled up in her diamond rings, [F7] twistin' the night away

[D#] Here you find the young and old, [F7] twistin' the night [A#] away
