Sentimental - Twist End Song - Sad / Horror

Updated with song 12 on December 28, 2025

Twist Song

Granny had hula hoops, did the twist

She used to twist her hips like this

Daddy used to sing the blues

Like Elvis in his blue suede shoes


Some people will sing in the rain

Or whistle waiting for a train

Toddlers like to jump in puddles

Lost Property sorts out muddles


Stations stock free papers to read

And shelves of books, a choice indeed

It rains, I should have stayed in bed

Newspaper hat protects my head


My umbrella's blown upside down

Then it's fallen on the ground

I'm glad to see warm trains again

On Circle Lines I'm riding around.


The Circle line goes round and round

Round and round, round and round

The circle line goes round and round

All night long.


Once, the driver, tired of riding

Drove the train towards the siding

I shout, but he can't hear a word

I had to pull the emergency cord.


Once when I took the midnight train

Asleep, missed stop, wait til six again!

My fault, too late, could not complain

Rescued by laughing son in rain.


No point saving for a rainy day

You can't get taxis anyway

Trip to tempting shopping centre

Some have playgrounds free to enter


In summer picnic in the park

Play rounders, paddleboats, cricket

In winter we shop after dark

Pockets hide our return ticket.

Angela dressed as a pirate. (Chorus) Some watchers wonder what you are But I can see you are a star Everything you show is tempting Everything you do's inviting I see smiles, I hear laughter Something different, so exciting A new baby, a growing child Will it be taught? Will it be wild? Will it guard health? Will it grow wealth? And say, 'I did it all myself!' Some watchers wonder what you are But I can see you'll be a star Sidelong glances from long lash eyes The bright and sparkly clothes you wear I feel intrigued, I see surprise Little flowers wave, weave in long hair I see coloured hair, big curled wigs Toes cute and small, arms strong and big News suggestions, once depressing Hints and questions keep us guesssing Everything you show is tempting Everything you do's inviting I see smiles, I hear laughter Something different, so exciting, Some watchers wonder what you are But I can see you are a star -ends- Choose a singer or a record label or company.

 Inspired by "the wheels on a bus', my grand-daughter's favourite song, I thought of all the things my four- year- old grand-daughter likes to do. Based on what she did at the hotel on Menorca, Spain in June 2025. What would you like to do, like to do, like to do. Tell me and I'll do it with you, do it with you, do it with you. We'll say what's right, we'll drink wat I would just like to sit on my chair, sit on my chair., sit on m chair Then I would like to comb dolly's hair, comb dolly's hair, comb dolly's hair.

I agree, I'll make a note, make a note., make a note. We would like to ride in a boat, riade in a boat, ride in a boat. Would you like to see a farm, see a farm, see a farm.
