Down at the Twist and Shout lyrics

[Chorus]
Saturday night and the moon is out
I'm gonna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
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
Gonna dance to a band from Luzianne tonight

[Verse 1]
And I never have wandered down to New Orleans
Oh I 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
There's Baton Rouge and I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrеts
'Cause I'm never gonna comе back home

[Chorus]
Saturday night when the moon is out
I'm gonna 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
Gonna dance to a band from Luzianne tonight
[Verse 2]
Yeah they got 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
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]
Saturday night when the moon is out
I'm gonna 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
Gonna dance to a band from Luzianne tonight

[Verse 3]
Well 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 nineteen ten
You're going to feel a little bit young again
Well you learned to dance with your rock and roll
And you learned to swing with a do-si-do
Learn to love at the fais-do-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
[Chorus]
Saturday night when the moon is out
I'm gonna 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
Gonna dance to a band from Luzianne tonight

[Outro]
Oh I'm gonna dance to a band from Luzianne tonight
We're gonna dance to a band from Luzianne tonight
