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
Gonna dance to a band from a-lou'sian' tonight
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 gonna go
Down highway 10 past lafayette
To 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
Gonna dance to a band from a-lou'sian' tonight
They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A golf storm blowin' into town tonight
Livin on the delta's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
And 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
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
Gonna 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 1910
You gonna feel a little bit young again
Well you learned to dance with your rock'n'roll
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
But you learn to love at the fais-so-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
Gonna dance to a band from a-lou'sian' tonight
