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 Lousian’ 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

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 acoming into town, baby let’s go down

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 nineteen ten
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 dosido
But you learn to love at the faisdodo
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
