AHs:
Ah - ah - ah - ah

VERSE 1:
I could really get off bein in your shoes
I used to be stone sold on the rhythm and blues
I heard of a place at the back of town
where you really kick the shit when the sun goes down

PRE-CHORUS:
I really got buzzed when your sister said
"Throw away them records cuz the blues is dead
Let me take ya honey - where the scene's on fire"
and tonight I learned for certain that the blues - expired

CHORUS:
Oh your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
outbucks the broncos in the rodeo-do
She's only sixteen but it's plain to see
she can pull the wool over little old me
Your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
your sister can't twist but she got more soul than me

VERSE 2:
Somebody help me cuz the bug bit me
now I'm in heaven with the achin feet, but I’ll be
Back tonight where the music plays
and your sister rocks all my blues away

[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]

[REPEAT CHORUS]

AHs:
Ah - ah - ah - ah

KEY CHANGE:
Oo-wee-oo-oo oo-wee-oo-oo
Oo-wee-oo-oo oo-wee-oo-oo

OUTRO CHORUS:
Your sister can't surf but she can rock and roll
she outbucks the broncos in the rodeo-do
She's only sixteen but it's plain to see
she can pull the wool over little old me

Your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
Your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
your sister can't twist but she got more soul than me

OUTRO:
Ah - ah - ah - ah
