YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
(Trevor Peacock)


The Vernons Girls - 1962



(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah)

Met this boy, he started to twist me
All night long we were doing the Twist
Then about half-past-ten he kissed me
Boy, did I know that I'd been kissed

Ooohhh (Waach!)
Well, you know what I mean
Well, you can't get over a thing like that
Boys are natural twisters
You know what I mean

(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah)

I became his finance fixer
Paid for everything, while he
Twisted like a cement mixer
With every other girl, but me

Ooohhh (Waach!)
Well, you know what I mean
Well, you can't get over a thing like that
Boys are natural twisters
You know what I mean

(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah)

Spent my dough with not a resistance
He was awful cute, you see
When my loose run out, that twister's
Gone away and run out on me

Ooohhh (Waach!)
Well, you know what I mean
Well, you can't get over a thing like that
Boys are natural twisters
You know what I mean

(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah)

When you're temped, don't you linger
Just remember, he can twist
Some girls round his little finger
And you might be next on his list

Waacha!
Well, you know what I mean
Well, you can't get over a thing like that
Boys are natural twisters
You know what I mean

(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
(Sha-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah)
So I said to him there, like
Listen here, I said
What d'you think you're doin'
But he went on twistin'
In fact he twisted the legs off ....... FADE
