(Ahhhh, twist!)
(Twist!)

(Do the peppermint twist!)
(Twist!)
(Do the peppermint twist!)

Every lovin' mama gonna twist the whole night through

(Twist!)
(Do the peppermint twist!)
(Twist!)
(Do the peppermint twist!)

It's done in Harlem and down in the Village
And Park Avenue too

[Chorus:] Wiggle your head, move your arms
Swing your hips, do no harm
Lift your leg, put it down
Then you go 'round and 'round

(Twist!)
(Do the peppermint twist!)
(Twist!)
(Do the peppermint twist!)

We taught you to dance
Now the rest is up to you
(Peppermint twist)

[Repeat chorus]

(Twist!)
(Do the peppermint twist!)
(Twist!)
(Do the peppermint twist!)

We taught you to dance
Now the rest is up to you
(Peppermint twist)
