[Verse 1]
I do the Kansas City twist, hey
I do the Kansas City twist, ho
I do the Kansas City twist, hey
I do the Kansas City twist, ho
I just got the news
So I got my twistin' shoes
So I do the Kansas City twist

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna catch a train and twist, hey
I'm gonna catch a plane and twist, ho
But if I have to walk
I've got no squawk
Gonna do the Kansas City twist

[Chorus]
Kansas City chicks look so doggone sweet
Twistin' up and down the street
Gonna stand on the corner of Twelfth and Vine
First chick twist by gonna make her mine

[Verse 3]
I do the Kansas City twist, hey
I do the Kansas City twist, ho
I love my blues
Since I got my twistin' shoes
And I'm doin' the Kansas City twist

Yes, yes, yes, yes

[Instrumental Break]
Hey, ho
Hey
Ah, betcha know ya, huh?
Mercy!
Hey, ho
Hey, ho

[Chorus]
Kansas City chicks look so doggonе sweet
Twistin' up and down the street
Gonna stand on the corner of Twеlfth and Vine
First chick twist by gonna make her mine

[Verse 4]
I do the Kansas City twist, hey
I do the Kansas City twist, ho
I love my blues
Since I got my twistin' shoes
And I'm doin' the Kansas City twist

[Verse 5]
I do the Kansas City twist
I do the Kansas City twist
I love my blues
Since I got my twistin' shoes
And I'm doin' the Kansas City twist

[Outro]
I love my blues
Since I got my twistin' shoes
