Berlin Irving
Mr. President (1962)
Washington Twist
Doing the Washington twist
Doing the twist with a twist
No one is set till they finally get
On the President's favorite list
President's doubts while the ins and the outs
Keep on doing the Washington Twist
Gentlemen loaded with charm
Seemingly meaning no harm
But while they're there, you're becoming aware
That they're quietly twisting your arm
Gentle in tone while promoting a loan
Which is part of the Washington Twist
Congressmen's lips that are pucked
Waiting for plums to be plucked
Legal concerns, making out their returns
With expenses they'd like to deduct
Drinking a toast to the host with the most
While they're doing the Washington Twist
