Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'n' Roll)

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1973

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I could really get off being in your shoes

I used to be stone sold on rhythm and blues

A heard of a place at the back of town

Where you really kick the shit when the sun goes down

 

I really got buzzed when your sister said

"Throw away them records 'cause the blues is dead

Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire"

And tonight I learned for certain that the blues expired

 

Oh your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll

Out bucks the broncos in the rodeo-do

She's only sixteen but it's plain to see

She can pull the wool over little old me

Your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll

Your sister can't twist but she got more soul than me

 

Somebody help me 'cause the bug bit me

Now I'm in heaven with the aching feet

But I'll be back tonight where the music plays

And your sister rocks all my blues away

 

I really got buzzed when your sister said

"Throw away them records 'cause the blues is dead

Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire"

And tonight I learned for certain that the blues expired

Done
