it seemed to me that I heard music
coming through the kitchen door
So I peeped in, saw my Dinah with a fellow
that I've never seen before
and he was twistin in the kitchen with my Dinah
twistin in the kitchen, I know
twistin in the kitchen with my Dinah
to the music of an old banjo
and singing
Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O, Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O,
Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O, Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O,
singing
Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O, Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O,
Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O, Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O,
And going around and around and around
around and around and around and around
Should have been my with My Dinah
Should have been me, I know
Should have been me, twistin in the kitchen
to the music of an old banjo
I saw him twistin in the kitchen with my Dinah
twistin in the kitchen, I know
he was twistin in the kitchen with my Dinah
to the music of an old banjo
and singing
Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O, Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O,
Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O, Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O,
singing
Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O, Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O,
Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O, Fi-Fai-Fideli-I-O,
And going around and around and around
around and around and around and around
