[Intro – Twist + Acoustic Guitar] Sarasota… here we go! Hey, my friends… are you ready? Let’s twist the night away! [Verse 1] For more than fifty years, we’ve all gone our own way, California, Texas, Virginia, Washington today. But true friendship never knows how far we roam, Put us together and we’re young again! Sarasota, blue sea, sunshine bright, Beachfront house, laughter day and night. No fancy ceremony, no need for flowers With old friends together, happiness never gets old! [Chorus – Twist] Twist, twist, my friend, twist some more! Fifty-plus years, we’re laughing like before! Sarasota, Sarasota, what a joy! Lê Quý Đôn friendship — nothing can destroy! [Verse 2 – Funny] Morning to the beach, our feet are in the sea, Then off to the aquarium — fish dancing happily! Afternoon at the market, evening in the kitchen, Bánh canh, bánh bèo, bò bía — everybody’s winning! Florida lobster, what a feast tonight! Chè sen, bánh flan — everything tastes right! Miss Dung and Miss Tuyến are still asleep in bed, While everybody else is hunting for breakfast instead! Miss Hồng takes a shower — “Finally, it’s time!” Miss Thủy snores next door like a giant engine’s chime! The whole house starts laughing, what a crazy scene, Even Sarasota’s ocean joins our comedy routine! [Rap – Fast Female Saigon Voice, Playful] Hey, my friends! We came here to relax? No way, we’re cooking, we're eating, that’s a fact! Who cooks? — Me! Who eats? — Me! Who does the dishes? — Not me! And Miss Tuyến, where can she be? Still taking pictures on the beach! [Chorus – Twist + Cha-Cha-Cha] Left, right, twist again! After one big meal, we’re planning the next one! Dance in the kitchen, sing in the hall, Sarasota, Sarasota — best reunion of all! [Bridge – Warm & Tender] At night beside the ocean, we share the memories, More than half a century, still laughing like we please. Tomorrow we’ll go home at different ways But Sarasota will live in every song we sing forevermore. [Final Chorus – Full Group] My friends, come on, let’s make another date! Gray hair, white hair — we’re never too late! Even when tomorrow takes us far apart, Lê Quý Đôn friendship stays forever in our hearts! [Outro – Twist] It’s amazing… it’s amazing… Sarasota, the blue sea calls our name! My friends… one more time… See you soon… for another rendez-vous!
