Saturday night, and the moon is out
I want to 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, want to beg for more
Wanna dance to a band from Luzianne tonight
And 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 want to 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, want to beg for more
Wanna dance to a band from Luzianne tonight
They got a alligator stew and a crayfish 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 coming into town"
Baby, let's go down
Saturday night, and the moon is out
I want to 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, want to beg for more
Wanna dance to a band from Luzianne 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 and roll
You learned to swing with a dos-ร -dos
But you learn to love at the fies-do-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
Saturday night, and the moon is out
I want to 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, want to beg for more
Wanna dance to a band from Luzianne tonight (patience)
