TESTING THE NIGHT AWAY
Sam Cooke


Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up Connecticut way
Where the people are so gay
Testing the night away-ay
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin' trouble on the run
Man, you find the old and young
Testing the night away
They're testing, testing, everybody's feelin' great
They're testing, testing, they're testing the night away
Here's a man in evenin' clothes
How he got here, I don't know, but
Man, you oughta see him go
Testing the night away-ay
He's dancin' with the chick in slacks
She's a-movin' up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothin' like
Testing the night away
They're testing, testing, everybody's feelin' great
They're testing, testing, they're testing the night away
Let's test a while!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now test
They're testing the night away
Here's a fella in bluejeans
Dancin' with a older Queen
Who's dolled up in-a diamond rings and
Testing the night away-ay
Man, you oughta see her go
Testing to the rock and roll
Here you find the young and old
Testing the night away
They're testing, testing, man, everybody's feelin' great
They're testing, testing, they're testing the night away
One more time!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now test
They're testing the night away
