Lyrics and translation Sam Cooke - Camptown Twist
Now
the
camptown
ladies,
they
sing
this
song
(doo-dah,
doo-dah)
Alors,
les
filles
de
Camptown,
elles
chantent
cette
chanson
(doo-dah,
doo-dah)
They
say
the
camptown
racetrack
five
miles
long
(oh-oh,
doo-dah)
Elles
disent
que
l'hippodrome
de
Camptown
fait
cinq
milles
de
long
(oh-oh,
doo-dah)
I've
come
down
here
to
see
the
horses
run
(doo-dah,
doo-dah)
Je
suis
venu
ici
pour
voir
les
chevaux
courir
(doo-dah,
doo-dah)
And
if
I
don't
make
money,
I'll
have
some
fun
(oh-oh,
doo-dah)
Et
si
je
ne
gagne
pas
d'argent,
je
vais
m'amuser
(oh-oh,
doo-dah)
'Cause
we're
gonna
twist
all
night
Parce
qu'on
va
twister
toute
la
nuit
We're
gonna
twist
all
day
On
va
twister
toute
la
journée
If
I
don't
make
money,
I'll
have
some
fun
Si
je
ne
gagne
pas
d'argent,
je
vais
m'amuser
Twistin'
the
night
away
Twister
toute
la
nuit
Now
the
longtailed
filly
and
the
big
black
horse
(doo-dah,
doo-dah)
Alors,
la
pouliche
à
longue
queue
et
le
grand
cheval
noir
(doo-dah,
doo-dah)
They
tried
to
take
a
shortcut
and
couldn't
get
across
(oh-oh,
doo-dah)
Ils
ont
essayé
de
prendre
un
raccourci
et
n'ont
pas
pu
traverser
(oh-oh,
doo-dah)
The
black
horse
stick
in
a
big
muddy
hole
(doo-dah,
doo-dah)
Le
cheval
noir
est
resté
coincé
dans
un
gros
trou
boueux
(doo-dah,
doo-dah)
And
the
filly
wound
up
around
a
ten
foot
pole
(oh-oh,
doo-dah)
Et
la
pouliche
s'est
retrouvée
autour
d'un
poteau
de
dix
pieds
(oh-oh,
doo-dah)
I
don't

Tu

dû
les
voir
voler

de

milles
(doo-dah,

and
