Twist Italiano

Hey, paisano, twist italiano, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Hey, calabrese, twist like a breeze, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Round and round like a pizza pie
Gira, gira, you and I
Hey, paisano, twist italiano
Hey, bambino, drink a little vino

I took a trip to Italy
And what do you think I saw?
Well, everybody was doing the twist
From nine to ninety-four
Oh, you should see Sophia twist
She swings from north to south
And when Gina shakes her hips
The boys all twist and shout

Hey, paisano, twist italiano, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Hey, calabrese, twist like a breeze, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Gira qua e gira la
Vai dimo un twist, e cosi si va
Hey, paisano, twist italiano
Hey, bambino, drink a little vino

In Rome I met a fella
They called chubby mozzarella
And when he starts to do the twist
The girls begin to yell
And when I went to Venice town
I saw the strangest sight
Gondoliers were twisting round
And singing through the night

Hey, paisano, twist italiano, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Hey, calabrese, twist like a breeze, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Gira qua e gira la
Vai dimo un twist, e cosi si va
Hey, paisano, twist italiano, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Hey, calabrese, twist like a breeze, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Round and round like a pizza pie
Gira, gira, you and I
Hey, paisano, twist italiano, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Hey, calabrese, twist like a breeze, whoa-oh-oh-oh
