(John Bobby Berry / Don Covay / Mark Lewis)

as recorded by Connie Francis
and backing group
1962


(One two, one two three!)

You ought to see my baby twist,
He goes around like a disc,
And when the music strikes a groove,
You ought to see my baby move!
He's my mister and I love him, hey Mister Twister!

And when he takes me to a dance,
I don't ever get a chance,
'Cause all the girlies can't resist
The way my baby does the twist!
He's my mister and I love him, hey Mister Twister!

Around and around my mister,
Around and around Mister Twister,
Around and around my mister,
Around and around Mister Twister,
He's my baby and I love him, hey Mister Twister!

My baby always takes the floor,
How he steals the show!
And if I wanna be his miss,
I got to learn to do the twist!
He's my mister and I love him, hey Mister Twister, go, hey!

(Around and around my mister,
Around and around Mister Twister,
Around and around my mister,
Around and around Mister Twister,
Ah, ah ah, Mister Twister!)

You ought to see my baby twist,
He goes around like a disc,
And when the music strikes a groove,
You ought to see my baby move!
He's my mister and I love him, hey Mister Twister!

Yeah, around and around my mister,
Around and around Mister Twister,
Around and around my mister,
Around and around Mister Twister,
He's my mister and I love him...  [ends]
