Movin' like a fast train
Callin' it the wild thang
Hopin' that you don't say
Well, I've been denied
Lordy, I've been denied
Your fever is high, you're tossin' about
But it ain't love till twist comes to shout 

When twist comes to shout
Katie, bar the back door, you ain't gonna let her out
When the walls come a-tumblin' down, I said down
You've got heart, you got soul, you got love 
When twist comes to shout 

Dancin' with a new shoe
You think you got the swine flu
A-hopin' that it ain't true
Well, I'll testify
Lordy, I'll testify
Gotta make you see what you've been doin' without
'Cause it ain't love till twist comes to shout 

When twist comes to shout
Katie, bar the back door, you ain't gonna let her out
When the walls come a-tumblin' down, I said down
You've got heart, you got soul, you got love 
When twist comes to shout 

I'm gonna make you see what you've been doin' without
'Cause it ain't love till twist comes to shout 

When twist comes to shout
Katie, bar the back door, you ain't gonna let her out
When the walls come a-tumblin' down, I said down
You've got heart, you got soul, you got love 
When twist comes to shout 

You've got heart, you got soul, you got love 
When twist comes to shout
