Camptown Twist Songtext
von Sam Cooke

Now the camptown ladies, they sing this song (doo-dah, doo-dah)
They say the camptown racetrack five miles long (oh-oh, doo-dah)
I′ve come down here to see the horses run (doo-dah, doo-dah)
And if I don't make money, I′ll have some fun (oh-oh, doo-dah)

'Cause we're gonna twist all night
We′re gonna twist all day
If I don′t make money, I'll have some fun
Twistin′ the night away

Now the longtailed filly and the big black horse (doo-dah, doo-dah)
They tried to take a shortcut and couldn't get across (oh-oh, doo-dah)
The black horse stick in a big muddy hole (doo-dah, doo-dah)
And the filly wound up around a ten foot pole (oh-oh, doo-dah)


I don′t care
We're gonna twist all night
We′re gonna twist all day
If I don't make money I'll have some fun
Twistin′ the night away

You oughta seen them fly on the ten mile heat (doo-dah, doo-dah)
They go round the racetrack and then repeat (oh-oh, doo-dah)
Now I win my money and the bobtailed neck (doo-dah, doo-dah)
I′m gonna keep my money in an old shoebag (oh-oh, doo-dah)

We're gonna twist all night
We′re gonna twist all day
Since I done won this money, gonna have some fun
Twistin' the night away

I say we′re gonna twist all night
We're gonna twist all day
Since I done won this money, gonna have some fun
Twistin′ the night away

I done won this money, gonna have some fun
