Ah you can have some fun
And do the jitterbug
But you can never
Get enough of

The long way down
They call it the long way down
The long way down
Gather round and do the long way down

Well now "The twist" is over
And summers gone
Just "stroll" on over
You dont belong

It's now the long way down
Yeah they call it the long way down
Ths long way down
Come on now and learn the long way down

(Heres how it goes now)

A new dance
Has made its way
You shake your hips
Both night and day
You shake your knees
Drop to the floor
Jump back up
And wiggle more

You do the long way down
You got it baby do the long way down
The long way down
Now you're doing the long way down

Now I know the hop
Was out of sight
With a girl
Who treat you right

This is the long way down
Shes doing the long way down
The long way down
Come on boy do the long way down

I ain't talking bout no "twist"
That kind of dance gives me the fits
This ain't no "mess around"
Everybody's doing the long way down
