Peppermint Twist, Pt. 1
Dance Through Life's Twists with Peppermint Joy
Lyrics
Well, they've got a new dance and it goes like this
Introducing a new dance and describing its moves
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Describing the rhythmic sounds associated with the dance
Yeah, the name of the dance is Peppermint Twist
Revealing the name of the dance, which is the Peppermint Twist
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Reiterating the rhythmic sounds associated with the dance
Well, you like it like this, the Peppermint Twist
Expressing a preference for the described way of dancing, the Peppermint Twist
It goes round and round, up and down
Providing instructions for the dance moves – circular and rhythmic with a count and kicks
Round and round, up and down
-Round and round and a up and down
-And a one, two, three, kick, one, two, three, jump
-Well, meet me baby down at 45th street
Inviting someone to meet at a specific location where Peppermint Twisters gather
Where the Peppermint Twisters meet
-And you'll learn to do this, the Peppermint Twist
Encouraging the listener to learn the Peppermint Twist at the designated meeting place
It's alright, all night, it's alright
Expressing that the Peppermint Twist is acceptable and enjoyable throughout the night
It's okay, all day, it's okay
Affirming that the dance is acceptable and enjoyable all day long
You'll learn to do this, the Peppermint Twist
Reiterating the encouragement to learn and perform the Peppermint Twist
Yeah, yeah, etc
Continuing the positive affirmation, possibly with musical cues
