Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We're going on a holiday now

Gonna take a villa, a small chalet

Costa del Magnifico

Yeah, the cost of living is so low

Yeah (yeah), gonna be so neat

Dance (dance) to the Euro beat

Yeah (yeah), gonna be so cool

Twisting by the (twisting by the)

Twisting by the (twisting by the)

By the pool (twisting by the pool)

We're twisting by the pool (twisting by the pool)

We're twisting by the pool (twisting by the pool)

Twisting, twisting by the pool

Sitting in a small cafe now

Swing, swing, swingin' to the cabaret

You wanna see a movie, take in a show now

Meet new people at the disco

Yeah (yeah), gonna be so neat

Dance (dance) to the Euro beat

Yeah (yeah), gonna be so cool

Twisting by the (twisting by the)

Twisting by the (twisting by the)

By the pool (twisting by the pool)

We're twisting by the pool (twisting by the pool)

Twisting by the (twisting by the pool)

Yeah, twisting, twisting by the pool

And we can still get information

Reading all about inflation

And you're never gonna be out of reach

There's a call-box on the beach (on the beach)

So one, a two

A one, a two, a three

...

(We're just twisting by the pool) I'm a-twistin' by the pool

(Twisting by the pool) You got me twistin' by the pool

(Twisting by the pool) Yeah, twisting, twisting by the pool

Mhm,you're gonna look so cute

Sunglasses and bathing suits

Be the baby of my dreams

Like the ladies in the magazines

Yeah (yeah), gonna be so neat

Dance (dance) to the Euro beat

Oh yeah (yeah), gonna be so cool

Twisting by the (twisting by the)

We're just twisting by the (twisting by the)

By the pool (twisting by the pool)

Twisting by the pool (twisting by the pool)

I'm a twisting fool

Just twisting, yeah twisting, twisting by the pool (twisting by the pool)

Everybody got to do the twist, twist (twisting by the pool)

And we're twisting (twisting by the pool)

You got me twisting by the pool (twisting by the pool)

Oh, twisting, twisting by the pool, yeah

...

Get wild

(Twisting by the pool) And we're twisting

(Twisting by the pool) You got me twisting by the pool

(Twisting by the pool) Oh, twisting, twisting by the pool

Now everybody just twisting

And we're twisting (twisting by the pool)

You got me twisting by the pool (twisting by the pool)

Yeah, twisting, twisting by the pool

I'm a twisting fool

Twisting, oh, twisting, twisting by the pool
