Saturday night and the moon is out
G
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
D7
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
G
When it lifts me up I’m gonna find my feet
C
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
G
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
D7
G
Gonna dance to a band from a-Louisiana tonight
D7
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
G
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
D7
But I heard that music on the radio
G
And I swore some day I was gonna go
Em
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
A7
To Baton Rouge and I won’t forget
D7
To send you a card with my regrets
G
Cause I’m never gonna come back home

They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
G
A golf storm blowing into town tonight
D7
Living on the delta’s quite a show
G
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
Em
And here up north it’s a cold cold rain
A7
And there ain’t no cure for my blues today
D7
Except when the paper says Beausoleil
G
Is coming into town baby let’s go down

Bring your mama bring your papa bring your sister too
G
They got lots of music and lots of room
D7
When they play you a waltz from 1910
G
You gonna feel a little bit young again
Em
Well you learned to dance with your rock’n’roll
A7
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
D7
But you learn to love at the fais-so-do
G
When you hear a little Jolie Blon

I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
