Dear Lady Twist Songtext
von Gary “U.S.” Bonds

Get up from your chair
Darling, may I have
(Get up from your chair)
The pleasure of having
(Get up from your chair)
This next twist with you
(Get up from your chair)
I don′t know how to twist
(Get up from your chair)
You don't know how to twist
(Get up from your chair)
Well, let me tell you
(Get up from your chair)

Well, now, there′s a new dance
That's known as the twist
It's really not new
It′s something you′ve missed


But there's a new dance
That′s known as the twist
It's really not new
It′s something you've missed

Dear lady
(Get up from your chair)
Dear, dear lady
(Get up from your chair)

Well, now, doctors agree
So I′ve been told
Do the twist and
You'll never grow old

Well, one night I happened
On a go-go dance
Believing I'd find
Me some romance

And this old lady
I happened to see
I said, come on, baby
Do the twist with me


Dear lady
(Get up from your chair)
Oh, dear lady
(Get up from your chair)

Well, now, doctors agree
So I′ve been told
Do the twist and
You′ll never grow old

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Get up and do the twist now
Yeah, oh, yeah

Well, I said
I'd love to dance
From now until dawn
She said, crazy, baby
But I′m almost gone

I said, now the rhythm
Is getting real sweet
This is no time
To slow up your feet

Dear lady
(Get up from your chair)
Dear, dear lady
(Get up from your chair)

Well, now, doctors agree
So I've been told
Do the twist and
You′ll never grow old

You gotta do the twist
You gotta do the twist
Come on, get up
Get up
Come on, come on
Get up and do the twist
