Lyrics

(Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
 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
 Gonna 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
 Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
 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
 And 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 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
 Gonna 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 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
 Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
