    Saturday night & the moon is out, I wanna head on over to the Twist & Shout
       G                                        C
Find a two-step partner & a Cajun beat, When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
F                                              C
Out in the middle of a big dance floor, When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
      G                                  C
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight


       G                                        
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans, 
C
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
      G                                  C
But I heard that music on the radio, & I swore some day I was gonna go
     Am              A7            D7
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette, To Baton Rouge & I won't forget
   G                                                                 C
To send you a card with my regrets, 'Cause I'm never gonna come back home 


Refrain


         G                                     C
They got an alligator stew & a crawfish pie, A gulf storm blowing into town tonight
       G                                     C
Living on the delta's quite a show, They got hurricane parties every time it blows
    Am                   A7                 D7
But here up north it's a cold, cold rain, & there ain't no cure for my blues today
  G                                                                C
Except when the paper says Beausoleil, Is a-coming into town, baby let's go down


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