Long be fore the twist and stroll,
Long before there was rock and roll,
Long before there was rock and roll,
Long before they were
doing the stroll,
Tupac was doing his bit
and a love was a hit,
Long before there was Bobby Sox,
Long before there was record pops,
Cleopatra sailed the Nile
because love was in style
Way back in the Alley days,
things were different in many ways
But one thing was the same even then,
women were women
and men were men
Long before the twist was here,
long before the shimmy appeared
But no matter my needs,
I'll follow the plan,
and I'll love and be gay.
Ball, ball, ball,
way back in the alley days
Thing s were
different in many ways
But one thing was the same even then
Women were women
and men were men
Long before the twist was here
Long before the shimmy appeared
Adam and Eve followed the plan
And the lovin' began
Yeah, the lovin' began
Long before the twist and stroll
Long before there was rock and roll
Long before the twists strokes
Long before there was rock and roll
