Twist & Shout
"The first album was recorded in one long twelve-hour session. The last song to be done was called 'Twist and Shout,' which nearly killed me. I was always bitterly ashamed of it, because I could sing it better than that. But now it doesn't bother me. You can hear I'm just a frantic guy, doing his best." John Lennon
Well shake it up baby
Twist and shout
Come on, come on
Come on, come on baby now
Come on and work it on out
Well work it on out
You know you look so good
You know you got me going now
Just like I knew you would
Well shake it up baby, now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on,
Come on, come on baby now
Come on and work it on out
You know your twistin' little girl
You know you twist so fine
Come on and twist a little closer
And let me know that your mine
Aaaah...Aaaah...Aaaah...Aaaah...yeah!!
Shake it up baby, now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on,
Come on, come on baby now
Come on and work it on out
You know your twistin' little girl
You know you twist so fine
Come on and twist a little closer
And let me know that you're mine
Well shake it, shake it, shake it baby now...
Well shake it, shake it, shake it baby now...
Well shake it, shake it, shake it baby now...
Aaaah...Aaaah...Aaaah...Aaaah...
"Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewellery."
John, at the Royal Variety Performance, November 15, 1963
