Since the Twist hit the list
And the Pony ran
They labeled me
A dancin' man

When I wanna get romance
I never get a lover's chance
All they wanna do is dance
Now, they tell me
"Let's dance, let's dance"

"Oh, sing your song
Let's dance, let's dance all night long
Forget romance, ain't got a chance
Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance"

When we really shook the floor
Time for what I'm waitin' for
But they wanna twist some more
Now, they tell me
"Let's dance, let's dance"

"Whoa, sing your song
Let's dance, let's dance all night long
Forget romance, ain't got a chance
Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance"

When I say, "Kiss?", they say "Twist!"
I try to kiss but they resist
A kiss, twist, kiss, twist
Baby, baby, can't go on like this

When I say they've had enough
Thinkin' that I'm playin' rough
Gonna get some lovin' stuff
Now, they tell me
"Let's dance, let's dance"

"Whoa, sing your song
Let's dance, let's dance all night long
Forget romance, ain't got a chance
Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance", Hey

When I say, "Kiss?", they say, "Twist"
I try to kiss but they resist
Just kiss, twist, kiss, twist
Baby, can't go on like this

When it's time to kiss goodnight
I gotta hold 'em extra tight
Or else they'll dance right outta my sight
Still, they yell, "Man
Let's dance, let's dance"

"Whoa, sing your song
Let's dance, let's dance all night long
Forget romance, ain't got a chance
Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance"

Hey, let's dance, let's dance, let's dance
Come on, now, let's dance, let's dance, let's dance
Hey, dance, dance, dance
Hey, dance
