VERSE 1:
[A] Let me tell you 'bout a place, [F#m] somewhere up the New York Way
[D] Where the people are so gay, [E7] twistin' the night away
[A] Here they have a lot of fun, [F#m] puttin' trouble on the run
[D] Man you find the old and young, [E7] twistin' the night a-[A]-way

[A] Twistin', twistin', everybody's feelin' great
They're [D] twistin', twistin', [E7] twistin' the night a-[A]-way

VERSE 2:
[A] Here's a man in evening clothes, [F#m] how he got here, I don't know
[D] But man, you oughta see him go, [E7] twistin' the night away
[A] He's dancin' with a chick in slacks, [F#m] she's a-movin' up and back
[D] Oh man, there ain't nothin' like, [E7] twistin' the night a-[A]-way

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
[A] Lean up, lean [F#m] back
Lean [D] up, lean [E7] back
[A] Watusi, now [F#m] fly, now [D] twist
They're, [E7] twistin' the night a-[A]-way

VERSE 3:
[A] Here's a fella in blue jeans, [F#m] dancin' with an older queen
[D] Who's dolled up in her diamond rings, [E7] twistin' the night away

[D] Here you find the young and old, [E7] twistin' the night [A] away
