Twinkle Toes

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well, there's a soul man wailing behind the beat

And a cook when you walk in

You're a go-go girl

Now you work it out

Now work while the blue lights spin

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everybody knows

When you start to dance, now

Your twinkle toes

Twinkle Toes, you move and you go

And you know you do it right

Up and down, now you dance around, now

You're lookin' good tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on, come on now

Twinkle toes

Dance on and on, now

Yeah, but twinkle toes

I know you're trying

To hide your broken heart

You act so gay

Yeah, behind the smile

I know you're crying

Your big great lonely eyes

Give you away

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Twinkle toes

You know you must hang on, girl

Hang on tight

Don't let your feelings show

Twinkle toes

You know you must dance on, girl

If you work it right

They'll never know

Now go

One, two

One, two

One, two, three, four

One

Twinkle toes

It's tough to forget

But every thing's all right

Yeah, twinkle toes

Get set, 'cause I bet

I'll take you home tonight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, you're allright, now

Yeah, twinkle toes

You're out of sight, now

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, you're so fine, girl

Yeah, twinkle toes

You've hurt my mind, girl

Twinkle toes

Come on, carry on

Now when the dance is through

You won't be lonely

You won't be blue

Tonight I'll be with you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, twinkle toes
