Cool Johnny Twist

Hey, Let Me Hip You To A Cool Cat
You Might've Missed
Talkin' 'Bout That Guitar-Pickin' Ladies Man
Cool Johnny Twist
You Could Travel the World
Never Find Noone Like This
They'da Had It Invented, Ha!
If It Didn't Exist
Because The Man Had flair to spare
In Everything He Did
From The Tip Of His Crocodile Slides
On Up To His Esquire lid, Oh Yeah!
He Put His Own Little, Private Twist
On Anything He Tried
Right From His Style Of Dress, To His Line Of Jive
It Was All Highly Personalised
Oh, He's An Original, He's One Of A Kind
Got Women For Days, Just Standing In Line
Just Ain't No Way To Resist
Ooo, 'Cause He's Twist
Cool Johnny Twist
Had A Top-Secret Twist
On His Loving Technique
He'd Take A Quiet, Little School Girl
Bam! Turn Her Into A Freak
He Played A Candy-Coloured
Flying V Gibson Guitar
He Drove A Specially-Built, Customised
Combination Car
I Seen Him Leaving Saint Louis
In That Stretch Coup De Ville
It Had Custom Chrome Wheels
It Had A Rolls-Royce Grill
He Had The Back Packed Stacked
With Nothing But 100-Dollar Bills
He Said He Was Headin' For Chi-Town
To Give The People A Thrill
Oh, He's An Original...
Now, Time Has Passed, And Years Go By
And Memories Fade Away
But I Can Hear Twist Talkin' To Me
Just Like It Was Yesterday
Back When He Took A Kid To School
'Bout What A Man's Gonna Need To Know
Concerning Class, And Cash, And Ladies
And How The Game Is Supposed To Go
Oh, Don't Take My Word On What You Heard
Or Believe Nobody Else
Just Take A Trip On Down To The South Side
You Can Check Him Out Yourself
Get All The Tapes, CDs, Love Potions
And Good Luck All You're Lookin' For
And Meet The Man Behind The Legend
At J.T.'s Own Dusty Record's Store
Tell It One More Time, Now
Oh, He's An Original...
