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
twistin´ 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
twistin´ 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
twistin´ 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
twistin´ the night away
