🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

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 nightWe’re gonna twist all dayIf I don’t make money, I’ll have some funTwistin’ 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 careWe’re gonna twist all nightWe’re gonna twist all dayIf I don’t make money I’ll have some funTwistin’ 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 nightWe’re gonna twist all daySince I done won this money, gonna have some funTwistin’ the night away
I say we’re gonna twist all nightWe’re gonna twist all daySince I done won this money, gonna have some funTwistin’ the night away
I done won this money, gonna have some fun
