[Chorus]
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 going to find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle want to beg for more
Going to dance to a band from a-Louisiana tonight
[Verse 1]
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 going to go
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrets
Because I'm never going to come back home
[Chorus]
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 going to find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle want to beg for more
Going to dance to a band from a-Louisiana tonight
[Verse 2]
They got a 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 coming into town"
Baby let's go down
[Chorus]
Samedi soir à la London Bridge [?]
Je vais me aller [?]
Je veux danser les danses de Louisiane ce soir
[Verse 3]
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 going to 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
[Chorus]
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 going to find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle want to beg for more
Going to dance to a band from a-Louisiana tonight
Yeah, I want to dance to a band from a-Louisana tonight
