“Transylvania Twist,” the title track, is Dracula’s attempt at creating a new dance that has women exposing their neck for the expressed purpose of donating a little blood to his cause. Dracula admits it wasn’t a great dance because he kept losing female partners. The 1931 vampire film, Dracula, starred Bela Lugosi.
(Transylvania Twist) - Girls bend your head to the left -
(Transylvania Twist) - And turn around,
Boys - give a kiss on the neck - Girls - all fall down (stop)
Wolfman howls at the moon Creature swims the lagoon
The mob hunts down Frankenstein -
I steal the bride from the groom
I’ll show you how
C (Transylvania Twist) c b a Am Her neck was long and slender
F Her skin so pinkish white Am Her flesh so soft and tender
E all it needed was a bite
Am So I asked her to dance -

Am She bent her head to the left exposing her neck
G My teeth sunk with a breath-taking kiss
