You've seen the new look
And you've heard the new sound
Now the continental twist, baby
Is in your town
Let's do the continental twist
And let's twist, twist, twist
Let's do the continental twist
And let's twist, twist, twist
Round and around the dance hall floor
Come on and twist, twist, twist
Well you looking good, baby
I want you to know
The continental from head to your toes
You've got it, babe
Keep pushing with your ? 'till the music fades
Let's do the continental twist
And let's twist, twist, twist
Let's do the continental twist
And let's twist, twist, twist
Round and round the dance hall floor
Come on and twist, twist
The continental dance
Is a dance of today
So you better get with it
'Cause it's here to stay
Oh, my little mama, with your pretty smile
Let's you and me do the continental a while
Ah, the way you move your feet, baby
You're sweet
[Scat]
Let's do the continental twist
And let's twist, twist, twist
Let's do the continental twist
And let's twist, twist, twist
Around and round the union hall floor
Let's go, let's twist
