The Twist
Revolutionary Dance of Freedom
Lyrics
Come on baby let's do the twist
Come on baby, let's dance the twist together
Come on baby let's do the twist
Reiteration of the invitation to dance the twist
Take me by my little hand and go like this
Take my hand, and let's perform the twist dance
Ee-oh twist baby baby twist
Energetic expression related to the twist dance
Oooh-yeah just like this
Expressing satisfaction or excitement about the twist dance
Come on little miss and do the twist
Inviting a woman (little miss) to join and dance the twist
My daddy is sleepin' and mama ain't around
Parents are not present; an opportunity to dance freely
Yeah daddy is sleepin' and mama ain't around
Emphasizing the absence of parents, suggesting freedom
We're gonna twisty twisty twisty
Intention to dance the twist energetically
'Til we turn the house down
Determination to continue twisting until it's lively
Come on and twist yeah baby twist
Encouraging someone to twist with enthusiasm
Oooh-yeah just like this
Expressing satisfaction or excitement about the twist dance
Come on little miss and do the twist
Inviting a woman (little miss) to join and dance the twist
Yeah you should see my little Sis
Highlighting the speaker's sister, suggesting dancing ability
You should see my my little Sis
Reiteration of the speaker's sister's dancing skills
She really knows how to rock
Complimenting the sister's ability to rock (dance energetically)
She knows how to twist
Acknowledging the sister's proficiency in the twist dance
Come on and twist yeah baby twist
Encouraging someone to twist with enthusiasm
Oooh-yeah just like this
Expressing satisfaction or excitement about the twist dance
Come on little miss and do the twist
Inviting a woman (little miss) to join and dance the twist
Yeah rock on now
Encouraging energetic dancing or celebration
Yeah twist on now
Encouraging continued twisting or celebration
Twist
Reiteration of the dance style, emphasizing the twist
