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 Highway 10 past Lafayette To 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 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
