    With all due respect to Stevie Ray Vaughan, one of my favorite musicians, this original rocks and rolls just as hard as Stevie's cover #music #HankBallard #StevieRayVaughan #SRV youtu.be/7d7Yn2pe1HE

    Come on, baby
    Let's do the twist
    Come on, baby
    Let's do the twist
    Take me by my little hand
    And go like this
    E-yah, twist
    Baby, baby, twist
    Ooh yeah, just like this
    Come on, little miss
    And do the twist
    My daddy is sleepin'
    And mama ain't around
    Yeah, daddy's just sleepin'
    And mama ain't around
    We're gonna a-twist, a-twist, a-twistin'
    'Til we tear the house down

    I said a-shake baby shake baby
    Shake till the πŸ– rolls off your 🦴🦴
    Till your mama & your papa come home
    Shake baby shake
    I just love your sexy ways
    Well upside down & all around
    Baby don't be late, let's bop the town
    Shake baby shake
    I just love your sexy ways
    Well grandpa, he's too old to go
    He gotta shake it just a little
    to the rock 'n roll
    So shake baby shake
    I just love your sexy ways
