[Actually in A; capo at the 2nd fret]
DO DO
Saturday night and the moon is out
SOL SOL
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
RE RE
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
SOL SOL
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
DO DO - RE
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
SOL SOL
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
RE RE SOL SOL
Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
RE RE
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
SOL SOL
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
RE RE
But I heard that music on the radio
SOL SOL
And I swore some day I was gonna go
MIm MIm
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
LA7 LA7
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget
RE RE
To send you a card with my regrets
RE SOL
'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-Lou'sian' tonight
They got an 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 a-coming 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-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 a-1910
You're gonna 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
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-Lou'sian' tonight
