Once upon a time when i was just a kid

You never let me do iust what the older kids did

I get my best dancing lessons from you

     A#
You're the one who taught me how to "twist and shout"

             G           Am/G
Because you shout non stop

 G     Am/G        G     Dm     C    Dm     C
And you're so twisted too!

Wo  oh  oh  oh  oh

 F
Once I used to fidget

'Cause I just sat home

But now I'm just like Gidget

And I gotta get to Rome!

So say, arrivederci!

Toodle loo!
And ciao!
