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
Gonna dance to a band
from Louisiana tonight
And I never have wandered
down to New Orleans
Never have drifted
down a bayou stream
But I heard that
music on the radio
And I swore some day
I was gonna go
Down Highway 10
past Lafayette
To 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
Gonna dance to a band
from Louisiana tonight
They`ve got alligator stew
and a crawfish pie
A golf storm blowin`
into town tonight
Livin` on the delta
is quite a show
They`ve got hurricane parties
every time it blows
And here up north
it`s a cold cold rain
And there ain`t no cure
for my blues today
Except when the paper
says Beausoleil is
coming 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
Gonna dance to a band
from Louisiana tonight
Bring your mama
bring your papa
bring your sister too
They`ve 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 `n` roll
You learned to swing
with a do-si-do
But you learn to love
at the faissodo
When you hear a
little Jolie Blon
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
Gonna dance to a band
from Louisiana tonight
