Lyrics The Twist (Live 1988) - James Taylor

Oh come on, baby yeah

Come on, baby
Let′s do the twist
Oh baby
Oh do the twist
Take mama by the hand
Make it go like this

Your daddy is sleepin' (′round and 'round and 'round)
And your mama ain′t around (′round and 'round and ′round)
Your daddy's sleepin′ ('round and ′round and 'round)
And mama ain't around (′round and ′round and 'round)
Twist and twist and twist
′Til we shake the house down ('round and ′round and 'round)

E-yo, and miss (′round and 'round and 'round)
Baby, baby (′round and ′round and 'round)
Ooh it′s over now, mama ('round and ′round and 'round)
Just like this (′round and 'round and 'round)
Come on, little miss
And do the twist (′round and ′round and 'round)
Come on now

You ought to see her now
My little sister
You ought to see her old man
Nothing that man understand, yeah, yeah
She knows how to rock
She knows how to twist

Eee-yo, and miss baby (′round and 'round and ′round)
Ooh yeah ('round and ′round and 'round)
You do it just like this ('round and ′round and ′round)
Come on, little miss
Do the twist ('round and ′round and 'round)
