C                      C
Saturday night and the moon is out

        G                   G
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout

       D                      D
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat

        G                     G
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet

C                      C    -    D
Out in the middle of a big dance floor

       G                      G
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

      D                      D                 G   G
Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
[Verse 1]
       D                           D
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans

G                         G
Never have drifted down a bayou stream

      D                       D
But I heard that music on the radio

      G                    G
And I swore some day I was gonna go

     E         
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette

   A7                A7
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget

   D                    D
To send you a card with my regrets

           D                     G
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home
[Chorus]
C                      C
Saturday night and the moon is out

        G                   G
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout

       D                      D
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat

        G                     G
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet

C                      C    -    D
Out in the middle of a big dance floor

       G                      G
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

      D                      D                 G   G
Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
[Verse 2]
            D                    D
They got an alligator stew and a crawfish pie

  G                       G
A gulf storm blowing into town tonight

D                     D
Living on the delta's quite a show

         G                       G
They got hurricane parties every time it blows

    E                    E
But here up north it's a cold, cold rain

          A7                   A7
And there ain't no cure for my blues today

  D                        D
Except when the paper says Beausoleil

     D                      G
Is a-coming into town, baby let's go down
[Chorus]
     C                      C
It's Saturday night and the moon is out

        G                   G
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout

       D                      D
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat

        G                     G
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet

C                      C    -    D
Out in the middle of a big dance floor

       G                      G
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

      D                      D                 G   G

[Verse 3]
           D                                 D
Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too

         G                 G
They got lots of music and lots of room

          D                       D
When they play you a waltz from a-1910

       G                       G
You're gonna feel a little bit young again

         E                          E
Well you learned to dance with your rock and roll

    A7                      A7
You learned to swing with a do-si-do

        D                    D
But you learn to love at the fais-do-do

         D                   G
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
[Chorus]
C                      C
Saturday night and the moon is out

        G                   G
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout

       D                      D
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat

        G                     G
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet

C                      C    -    D
Out in the middle of a big dance floor

       G                      G
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

      D                      D                 G   G
