| they say the camptown racetrack five miles long |
| I’ve come down here to see the horses run |
| and if I don’t make money I’ll have some fun |
| because we’re gonna twist all night |
| we’re gonna twist all day |
| if I don’t make some money I’ll have some fun |
| twistin' the night away |
| now the longtailed filly and the big black horse |
| they tried too take a shortcut and couldn’t get across |
| the black horse stick in a big muddy hole |
| and the filly wound up around a ten foot pole |
| I don’t care |
| we’re gonna twist all night |
| we’re gonna twist all day |
| if I don’t make some money I’ll have some fun |
| twistin' the night away |
| you oughtta seem them fly on the ten mile heat |
| they go round the racetrack and then repeat |
| now I win my money and the bobtailed neck |
| I’m gonna keep my money in an old shoebag |
| we’re gonna twist all night |
| we’re gonna twist all day |
| since I done won this money I’m gonna have some fun |
| twistin' the night away |
| we’re gonna twist all night |
| we’re gonna twist all day |
| since I done won this money I’m gonna have some fun |
| twistin' the night away |
