Song title: Twist and shout
(Medley, Russel) by The Isley Brothers (Wand 124), 1962
Twist and shout
Shake it now babe
Come on and twist and shout now
Come on babe
Come on and work it all out now
Twist little girl
You know you twist so fine
Twist a little closer
Let me know you're mine
Ah ah ah ah ah…
