Saturday night
And the moon is out
I wanna head on over
To the Twist and Shout
Find a two step partner
And a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up
I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of
A big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle
Wanna beg for more
Wanna dance
To a band
From Louisiana
Tonight
And I never have
Wandered down
To New Orleans
I never have
Drifted down
A bayou stream
But I heard that music
On the radio
And I swore someday
I was gonna go
Down Highway 10
Past Lafayette
There's Baton Rouge
And I won't forget
To send you a card
With my regrets
'Cause I'm never gonna
Come back home
Saturday night
And the moon is out
I wanna head on over
To the Twist and Shout
Find a two step partner
And a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up
I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of
A big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle
Wanna beg for more
Wanna dance
To a band
From Louisiana
Tonight
They got alligator stew
And crawfish pie
A Gulf stream blowin'
Into town tonight
Livin' on the delta
It's quite a show
They got
Hurricane parties
Every time it blows
But here up north
It's a cold cold rain
And there ain't no cure
For my blues today
Except when the paper
Says beau soleil
Is comin' into town
Baby let's go down
Saturday night
And the moon is out
I wanna head on over
To the Twist and Shout
Find a two step partner
And a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up
I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of
A big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle
Wanna beg for more
Wanna dance
To a band
From Louisiana
Tonight
Bring your mama
Bring your papa
Bring your sister too
They got
Lots of music
And lots of room
When they
Play you a waltz
From 1910
You're gonna feel
A little bit
Young again
Well you learned
To dance with
Your rock and roll
When you learned
To swing
With dozey doh
But you learn
To love
At the fais do do
When you hear
A little jolie blonde
Saturday night
And the moon is out
I wanna head on over
To the Twist and Shout
Find a two step partner
And a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up
I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of
A big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle
Wanna beg for more
Wanna dance
To a band
From Louisiana
Tonight..
