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 Lousian' 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 someday I was gonna go: down a highway 10 past Lafayett; there's a 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 Lousian' tonight. Hey! They gotta alligator stew and a crawfish pie, a gulf storm blowin' into town tonight. Livin' on the delta it's quite a show. They got hurricane parties ev'ry 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 Beousoleil is a comin' 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 Lousian' tonight. Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring you sister too. They got lots of music and lots of room. When they play you a waltz form a nineteen ten, you're gonna fell a little bit young again. Well you learn to dance with you rockin' roll, you learn to swing with 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 Lousian' tonight. Whoo!
