Down At The Twist And Shout - Mary Chapin Carpenter |[Chorus] |[C] Saturday night and the moon is out |I wanna [G] head on over to the Twist and Shout |Find a [D] two-step partner and a Cajun beat |When it [G] lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet |[C] Out in the middle of a big dance [D] floor |When I [G] hear that fiddle wanna beg for more |Wanna [D] dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight [G] Verse 1: Well I [D] never have wandered down to New Orleans [G] Never have drifted down a bayou stream But I [D] heard that music on the radio And I [G] swore some day I was gonna go Down [E] Highway 10 past Lafayette To [A] Baton Rouge and I won't forget To [D] send you a card with my regrets 'Cause I'm [D] never gonna come back [G] home [Chorus] Verse 2: They got an [D] alligator stew and a crawfish pie A [G] gulf storm blowing into town tonight [D] Living on the delta's quite a show They got [G] hurricane parties every time it blows But [E] here up north it's a cold, cold rain And there [A] ain't no cure for my blues today Ex[D]cept when the paper says Beausoleil Is a-[D]coming into town, baby [G] let's go down |[Chorus] |It's [C] Saturday night and the moon is out |I wanna [G] head on over to the Twist and Shout |Find a [D] two-step partner and a Cajun beat |When it [G] lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet |[C] Out in the middle of a big dance [D] floor |When I [G] hear that fiddle wanna beg for more |Wanna [D] dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight [G] Verse 3: Bring your [D] mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too They got [G] lots of music and lots of room When they [D] play you a waltz from a-1910 You're [G] gonna feel a little bit young again Well you [E] learned to dance with your rock and roll You [A] learned to swing with a do-si-do But you [D] learn to love at the fais-do-do When you [D] hear a little Jolie [G] Blon [Chorus]
