Once upon a time there was this guy called Johnny He was kinda shy and so in love with Connie But so was O’Smarty, who played it cool The king of the party, but oh what a fool (What a fool)
He didn’t know how to twist He didn’t know how to make a girl insist He didn’t know how to move, he didn’t feel the groove He didn’t know how to twist
(Twist, he didn’t know how to twist) He didn’t know how to move, he didn’t feel the groove He didn’t know how to twist
Once upon a night there was this guy called Johnny He was kinda high and dancing with his honey The queen of the party proclaimed him king While poor old O’Smarty was left in the ring
He didn’t know how to twist He didn’t know how to make a girl insist He didn’t know how to move, he didn’t feel the groove He didn’t know how to twist
(Twist, he didn’t know how to twist) He didn’t know how to move, he didn’t feel the groove He didn’t know how to twist Hit it, Johnny
A twist of love, a twist of pain A twist of me and you A twist of things you can’t explain Will make your dream come true

Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove Be sure you know how to twist
