F                      F
Saturday night and the moon is out

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

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

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

F                      F    -    G
Out in the middle of a big dance floor

       C                      C
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

      G                      G                 C   C
Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight

       G                           G
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans

C                         C
Never have drifted down a bayou stream

      G                       G
But I heard that music on the radio

      C                    C
And I swore some day I was gonna go

     Am              Am
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette

   D7                D7
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget

   G                    G
To send you a card with my regrets

           G                      C
'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 They got an alligator stew and a crawfish pie A gulf storm blowing into town tonight Living 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 It's 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 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're gonna feel a little bit young again Well you learned to dance with your rock and roll You learned to swing with a do-si-do But you learn to love at the fais-do-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 - Adam Schneider, [email protected]
