Down At the Twist and Shout

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 a-Lou'sian' tonight Well 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 to Highway 10, past the Lafayette There's the 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 a-Lou'sian' tonight (Hey!) They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie A Gulf storm blowin' into town tonight Livin' on the Delta'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 "Beausoleil is a-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 Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight (whoo!) 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 a-1910 You 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 fais-so-do 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 Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight Hey, cher
