Down At The Twist And Shout

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 to Highway 10, past the Lafayette
 There's the 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 (Hey!)
 They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
 A Gulf storm blowin' into town tonight
 Livin' 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
 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 (whoo!)
 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 gonna feel a little bit young again
 Well you learned to dance with your rock'n'roll
 You learned to swing with a do-si-do
 But you learn to love at the fais-so-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
 Hey, cher
