[D] [Eb] [Bb]
We're having a party, [Gm] dancing to the music [Bb] played by the [Gm] DJs on the radio.
[Bb] The Cokes are in the icebox, [Gm]
popcorn's on the table.
[Bb] Me and [Eb] my baby, we're out [Bb] here on the floor.
So mister, mister DJ, [Gm] keep those jackets [Bb] playing,
cause I'm having [Eb] such a good time, [Dm] dancing [Bb] with my baby.
Everybody's swinging, [Gm] I'm enjoying that twist now.
[Bb] If you take requests, [Gm] I got a few for you.
[Bb] Play that song called Snow [Gm] Twist, play that one called I [Bb] Know.
Don't [Eb] forget them mashed potatoes, no other [Bb] songs will do.
Let me tell you mister, mister DJ, [Gm] keep those jackets playing,
[Bb] cause I'm having [Eb] such a good time, [Dm] dancing [Bb] with my baby.
Having a party,
[Gm] everybody's swinging, oh we're dancing [Bb] to the music,
[Gm] on the radio,
[Bb]
[Gm] everybody's swinging, dancing [Bb] to the music,
[Eb] on the radio,
[Bb]
[Gm] everybody's swinging, oh we're dancing to [Bb] the music,
on [Gm] the radio.
