Lyrics for Camptown Twist
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
