The Moderne Twist
Checker spent all year just learning to dance
He'd shuffle his feet whenever he got the chance
And all of the kids at school would laugh, but
It never seemed to get him down
He just moved in a circle around and around
Nobody understood what he did it for
Why he spent all his time with his eyes on the floor
Then the end of the year, and the sock hop dance, on a Saturday night
And they knew right then that he had it made
When all of the girls would come to him and say
Oh Checker won't you twist with me
All the other guys have two left feet
Well I know, I know where I belong
It's right here with you every minute until they finish the song
Oh Checker won't you twist with me
All the other guys have two left feet
Well I know, I know where I belong
It's right here with you every minute until they finish the song
Now Checker wasn't blessed with looks
But he knew all the moves and he knew all the hooks
The Jump, the Jive, Jitterbug, and Bop
The Boogie Woogie, Stroll, and the Lindy Hop
Now Checker was a busy man
Out on the floor, in high high demand
But still he kept one eye on the door
And nobody understood what he did that for, until
Who should walk in and ask him to dance
But the loveliest girl in his neighbourhood and class
Eyes so bright, with a 1000 watt smile
Ten times cooler than the miracle mile
It must have all been part of his plan
Checker knew he had just one and only chance
He can't throw a spiral, and he can't swing a bat
But the quarterback can't twist like that, she said
Oh Checker won't you twist with me
All the other guys have two left feet
Well I know I know where we belong
Together just you and me swinging all night to every song
Oh Checker won't you twist with me
All the other guys have two left feet
Well I know I know where we belong
Together just you and me swinging all night to every song
Well you twist, yeah you twist
Yeah you're twistin' that night away
Well you twist, and you twist
You twist again and again and again
Well you twist, yeah you twist
Yeah you're twistin' that night away
Well you twist, and you twist
You twist again and again and again
Well you twist, yeah you twist
Yeah you're twistin' that night away
Well you twist, and you twist
You twist again and again and again
Well you twist, yeah you twist
Yeah you're twistin' that night away
Well you twist, and you twist
You twist again and again and again
He'd shuffle his feet whenever he got the chance
And all of the kids at school would laugh, but
It never seemed to get him down
He just moved in a circle around and around
Nobody understood what he did it for
Why he spent all his time with his eyes on the floor
Then the end of the year, and the sock hop dance, on a Saturday night

Oh Checker won't you twist with me

Well you twist, and you twist
You twist again and again and again
