Twist and Shout

**"Twist and Shout"** is a song that was originally recorded by the Top Notes, but it did not become a hit in the record charts until it was reworked by the Isley Brothers in 1962. The Beatles have recorded their cover of the song, which was first released on their first UK album "Please Please Me" on March 1963, based on the Isley Brothers' version.

In 1980, The Wiggles Experience first covered the song on their "Fun and Games" album, as sung by Joshua.

## Lyrics (Fun and Games)

**(Chorus)**

**Joshua**: Well, shake it up, baby, now. (**Mitchell**: Shake it up, baby.)

Twist and shout. (**Mitchell**: Twist and shout.)

C'mon c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby, now. (**Mitchell**: Come on baby.)

Come on and work it on out. (**Dillon**: Work it on out, wooo....)

**(Verse 1)**

Well, work it on out, honey, (**Mitchell**: Work it on out.)

You know you look so good. (**Mitchell**: Look so good.)

You know you got me goin' now. (**Mitchell**: Got me goin'.)

Just like I knew you would. (**Mitchell**: Like I knew you would, woooo....)

**(Repeat Chorus)**

**(Verse 2)**

You know you twist, you little girl, (**Mitchell**: Twist, little girl,)

You know you twist so fine, (**Mitchell**: Twist so fine,)

Come on and twist a little closer now, (**Mitchell**: Twist a little closer,)

And let me know that you're mine. (**Mitchell**: Let me know you're mine, woo...)

**(Instrumental Interlude)**

**Joshua**: Aah.... aah...

**Mitchell**: Aah... Aah...

(*WOW!*)

Yeah....!

**Mitchell**: Yeah...!

(*- Go home.*)

**(Repeat Chorus)**

**(Verse 2 - Alternate)**

**Joshua**: Now you twist, little girl, (**Mitchell**: Twist, little girl.)

You know you twist so fine, (**Mitchell**: Twist so fine.)

Come on and twist a little closer now, (**Mitchell**: Twist a little closer.)

And let me know that you're mine. (**Mitchell**: Let me know you're mine, woo...)

Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (**Mitchell**: Shake it up baby.) **(X3)**

**Mitchell**: Aah.... aah...

**Joshua**: Aah... Aah...!

**Mitchell**: (*Yeah!*)
