Now the camptown ladies they sing this song (doo dah) They say the camptown racetrack five miles long I've come down here to see the horses run And if I don't make money I'll have some fun Because we're gonna twist all night We're gonna twist all day If I don't make some money I'll have some fun Twisting the night away Now the longtailed filly and the big black horse They tried too take a shortcut and couldn't get across The black horse stick in a big muddy hole And the filly wound up around a ten foot pole I don't care We're gonna twist all night We're gonna twist all day If I don't make some money I'll have some fun Twisting the night away You oughtta seem them fly on the ten mile heat They go round the racetrack and then repeat Now I win my money and the bobtailed neck I'm gonna keep my money in an old shoebag We're gonna twist all night We're gonna twist all day Since I done won this money I'm gonna have some fun Twisting the night away We're gonna twist all night We're gonna twist all day Since I done won this money I'm gonna have some fun Twisting the night away
