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
ExDcept when the paper says Beausoleil
Is a-Dcoming 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
