TWISTIN' THE NIGHT AWAY Written and performed by Sam Cooke Tab transcribed by Collins Crapo <[email protected]>

A / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / / / 5 Let me tell you 'bout a place Somewhere on New York Way Where the people are so gay Twistin' the night away Here they have a lot of fun Puttin' supper on the run Here you find the old and young Twistin' the night away

Chorus

Twistin', twistin', everybody's doin' great They're twistin', twistin', twistin' the night away

Verse

Here's a man in evening clothes How he got here, I don't know, but Man, you oughta see him go Twistin' the night away He's dancin' with a chick in slacks She's a-movin' up and back Oh man, there ain't nothin' like Twistin' the night away

(chorus)

Bridge

Lean fore! Lean back! Lean fore! Lean back! Watusi! Now fly! Now twist! Yeah, twistin' the night away

Verse

Here's a fella in blue jeans Dancin' with an older queen Who's wearin' diamond rings Twistin' the night away Man, you oughta see her go Twistin' to the rock and roll Here you find the young and old Twistin' the night away

(chorus) (repeat bridge and fade)
