Camptown Twist
Now the camptown ladies, they sing this song (doo-dah, doo-dah)
They say the camptown racetrack five miles long (oh-oh, doo-dah)
I've come down here to see the horses run (doo-dah, doo-dah)
And if I don't make money, I'll have some fun (oh-oh, doo-dah)
'Cause we're gonna twist all night
We're gonna twist all day
If I don't make money, I'll have some fun
Twistin' the night away
Now the longtailed filly and the big black horse (doo-dah, doo-dah)
They tried to take a shortcut and couldn't get across (oh-oh, doo-dah)
The black horse stick in a big muddy hole (doo-dah, doo-dah)
And the filly wound up around a ten foot pole (oh-oh, doo-dah)
I don't care
We're gonna twist all night
We're gonna twist all day
If I don't make money I'll have some fun
Twistin' the night away
You oughta seen them fly on the ten mile heat (doo-dah, doo-dah)
They go round the racetrack and then repeat (oh-oh, doo-dah)
Now I win my money and the bobtailed neck (doo-dah, doo-dah)
I'm gonna keep my money in an old shoebag (oh-oh, doo-dah)
We're gonna twist all night
We're gonna twist all day
Since I done won this money, gonna have some fun
Twistin' the night away
I say we're gonna twist all night
We're gonna twist all day
Since I done won this money, gonna have some fun
Twistin' the night away
I done won this money, gonna have some fun
They say the camptown racetrack five miles long (oh-oh, doo-dah)
I've come down here to see the horses run (doo-dah, doo-dah)
And if I don't make money, I'll have some fun (oh-oh, doo-dah)
'Cause we're gonna twist all night
We're gonna twist all day
If I don't make money, I'll have some fun
Twistin' the night away
Now the longtailed filly and the big black horse (doo-dah, doo-dah)
They tried to take a shortcut and couldn't get across (oh-oh, doo-dah)
The black horse stick in a big muddy hole (doo-dah, doo-dah)
And the filly wound up around a ten foot pole (oh-oh, doo-dah)
I don't care
We're gonna twist all night
We're gonna twist all day
If I don't make money I'll have some fun
Twistin' the night away
You oughta seen them fly on the ten mile heat (doo-dah, doo-dah)
They go round the racetrack and then repeat (oh-oh, doo-dah)
Now I win my money and the bobtailed neck (doo-dah, doo-dah)
I'm gonna keep my money in an old shoebag (oh-oh, doo-dah)
We're gonna twist all night
We're gonna twist all day
Since I done won this money, gonna have some fun
Twistin' the night away
I say we're gonna twist all night
We're gonna twist all day
Since I done won this money, gonna have some fun
Twistin' the night away
I done won this money, gonna have some fun
