A Hundred Pounds Of Clay
Dee Dee Sharp
Every night I say a prayer
For the boy who gave me my start, Chubby Checker
And I say my thanks to someone up above
Who did a wonderful job
He took two hundred pounds of clay
And then he said, "Hey, listen,
I'm gonna fix this world today
Because it needs some twistin'"
And he rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand new world began
He created Chubby and a...
Lots of twistin' for romance
Yes, he did, mm-hmm
With just two hundred pounds of clay
He made my life worth living
And I will thank him every day
For every twist, you're giving
And I'll thank him for the night
For the arms that are holding me tight
And he did it all with...
Just two hundred pounds of clay
Yes he did, woah, yes he did... Mm-hmm
Now, can't you see him walking around n' 'round
Picking up-a clay from a-off the ground
Doing just-a what he should do
To make a twistin' dream like you
Then he rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand new world began
He created Chubby and a...
Lots of twistin' for romance
Yes, he did, just two hundred pounds of clay
Mmmm, people let me tell you what he did
With just two hundred pounds of clay
People let me tell you what he did
With just two hundred pounds of clay
Every night I say a prayer
For the boy who gave me my start, Chubby Checker
And I say my thanks to someone up above
Who did a wonderful job
He took two hundred pounds of clay
And then he said, "Hey, listen,
I'm gonna fix this world today
Because it needs some twistin'"
And he rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand new world began
He created Chubby and a...
Lots of twistin' for romance
Yes, he did, mm-hmm
With just two hundred pounds of clay
He made my life worth living
And I will thank him every day
For every twist, you're giving
And I'll thank him for the night
For the arms that are holding me tight
And he did it all with...
Just two hundred pounds of clay
Yes he did, woah, yes he did... Mm-hmm
Now, can't you see him walking around n' 'round
Picking up-a clay from a-off the ground
Doing just-a what he should do
To make a twistin' dream like you
Then he rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand new world began
He created Chubby and a...
Lots of twistin' for romance
Yes, he did, just two hundred pounds of clay
Mmmm, people let me tell you what he did
With just two hundred pounds of clay
People let me tell you what he did
With just two hundred pounds of clay
