[Intro — Spoken] Ahhh… what a beautiful evening. The moon is full. The castle is dark. And these hips… [Beat kicks in] Are immortal. [Verse 1] Six hundred years underneath my belt, You’d think by now I’d have seen it all. Coffins, castles, angry mobs, Pitchforks waiting outside my walls. I’ve haunted villages, ruled the night, Had my portrait painted by candlelight. But eternal darkness gets boring quick— So I invented a little trick. [Pre-Chorus] Cape goes left, Fangs go right, Wake the crypt— We’re dancing tonight! [Chorus] Do the Transylvania Twist! Come on, move those hips! Slide to the left, take a bite to the right, We’re gonna wake the dead tonight! Do the Transylvania Twist! Nobody can resist! Throw back your cape underneath the moonlight— Sleep all day and dance all night! [Post-Chorus] Twist! Twist! Transylvania Twist! [Spoken] Careful with the neck. I have terrible self-control. [Verse 2] Now Dracula traded the ancient robes For leather pants and expensive clothes. Hair slicked back, little flash of fang, Walked through the door and the church bells rang. Werewolves howling beside the bar, Ghosts doing shots like they’ll get far. Frankenstein yelled, “Turn it up!” [Spoken] Finally. A man with taste. [Pre-Chorus] Cape goes left, Fangs go right, Shake that coffin Back to life! [Chorus] Do the Transylvania Twist! Come on, move those hips! Slide to the left, take a bite to the right, We’re gonna wake the dead tonight! Do the Transylvania Twist! Nobody can resist! Throw back your cape underneath the moonlight— Sleep all day and dance all night! [Breakdown — Spoken] Now listen carefully. Left hip. Right hip. Cape. Fangs. Dramatic eye contact… [Pause] Excellent. You’re a natural. [Bridge] The villagers can bang on the castle door, We’re turning up the music even more. They brought their torches, ready to fight— Then somebody taught them the steps outside. Now the whole damn village is moving in time, Even Van Helsing’s getting in line! [Spoken] Oh, this is humiliating for him. [Build] The moon stays high, The crypt stays lit, Once you’ve been bitten— YOU NEVER QUIT! [Final Chorus] DO THE TRANSYLVANIA TWIST! Come on, move those hips! Slide to the left, take a bite to the right, We’re raising hell till morning light! Do the Transylvania Twist! The dead cannot resist! Every ghost, every ghoul, every creature tonight— Sleep all day and dance all night! [High Note] DANCE ALL NIIIIIIIIIGHT! [Outro] Twist! Twist! Transylvania Twist! [Spoken] Sunrise already? Ugh. Same coffin tomorrow night? Perfect.
