[Intro]
Children, go where I send you
(Where will you send me?)
I'm gonna send you to that land
The land of a thousand dances
[Verse 1]
Got to know how to Pony
Like "Bony Maronie"
You got to know how to Twist
Goes like this
[Verse 2]
Mashed Potato
Do the Alligator
Twist, twister
Like your sister
[Verse 3]
Then you get your Yo-Yo
Say, hey, let's go-go
Get out on your knees
Do the Sweet Peas
[Verse 4]
Roll over on your back
Say, "I Like It Like That"
Do the Watusi
Do the Watusi
[Verse 5]
Then you do the Fly
With the Hand Jive
Then you do the Slop
The Chicken and the Bop
[Verse 6]
Then you do the Fish
Slow, slow Twist
Then you do the Flow
Got to move solo
Then you do the Tango
Takes two to Tango
[Bridge]
Popeye, children
Popeye, children
Popeye, children
[Verse 7]
Come on, children
I wanna show you
This little place
'Cross the track
[Verse 8]
The name of this place
"I Like It Like That"
The name of the band
The Twistolettes
[Outro]
Come on, children
I wanna show you
I wanna show you
I wanna show you
Come on, children
