Camptown Twist - Sam Cooke

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
