Mama don't allow no twistin' in her house
Mama don't allow no twistin' in her house
We don't care what mama don't like
We'll do the twist 'till mama gettin' back, well
Mama don't allow no twistin' in her house

Mama don't want no dancin' in her home
Mama don't want no dancin' in her home, yeah!
We don't care what mama don't like
We gonna do the chicken all night
Well, mama don't allow no dancin' in her home

Yeah!
We don't care, mama don't like
We don't care, that mama don't like
We don''t care what mama don't like
We gonna do the pony 'till mama get mad at us
Mama don't allow no twistin' in her home

Yeah! Have Mercy!

(Instrumental and harp)

Well, mama don't want no twistin' in her house, yeah!
Mama don't want no twistin' in her house
We don't care what mama don't like
We'll do the chicken 'till mama get mad at us
Mama don't allow no twistin' in her house

Yea-yeaah!

We don't care what mama don't like
We don't care what mama don't like
We don't care what mama don't like
A-we gonna do the pony 'till mama get back

Yea-yeah!

Mama don't allow no chicken in her house
Mama don't allow no twistin' in her house
Mama don't allow no twistin' in her house
Mama don't allow no twistin' in her home
Mama don't allow no chicken in her house

'Get off that rug, boy!'
Mama don't allow no twistin' in her house
'Quit scuffin' up, that whites there'!
