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 Flat-A-Spare,
In Everything He Did
From The Tip Of His Crocodile Slides,
On Up To His Esquire Lead, 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 Cool Deville
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 Shy-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 Gain 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...
Cool Johnny Twist
