Come on little baby got me in a trance
We're both tough so let's just skip the dance
You're lookin' good and I really wanna be with you
Twist action will be good enough
I need a dose of that righteous stuff
I need a little lovin' but fast so baby come on thru'
Gotta get some time with you alone
Grab on to somethin' I call my own
Ain't got too much time to spare
Come on do the twist action now or I'll be outta here
Pretty little girl gotta rock'n' roll
To get your hand into my pocket is my only goal
The only thing guaranteed is your satisfaction
I got a stiff proposition baby clench your fist
I'm on a mission to make you twist
Go baby driver gotta get twist actionF#m

Hear them, how they talk to me
Trolley car rings out the morning
Whistle blows at noon
A cat fight breaks open the night
While watch dogs bay at the moon
A preacher on an orange crate
With a Salvation Army Band
And clicking along the cobbled stones
That's the sound of the ice-cream man
Comin' up the lane callin'
Workin' while the rain's fallin'
Ragman, your song of the street
Keeps haunting my memory
Music in the air
I hear it ev'rywhere
Rags, bones and old city songs
Hear them, how they talk to me
The organ grinder and his monkey
Still walkin' the same old beat
The shoe-shine boy slappin' leather
He puts the rhythm in your feet
Strollin' by the churchyard
List'nin' to the Sunday choir
With voices rising to the heavens
Like sirens screaming to a fire
Comin' up to the lane callin'
Workin' while the rain's fallin'
Ragman, your song of the street
Keeps haunting my memory
Music in the air
I hear it ev'rywhere
Rags, bones and old city songs
Play them one more time for me
