[Intro]

[Verse]
E A D                                 
■ ■ Saturday night and the moon is out
A                                          
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
E                                      
Find a twostep partner and a Cajun beat
A                                     D   
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
                                 D    
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
A                       E                 
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
                                      A      
Wanna dance to a band from aLou'sian' tonight
E                                             
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
A                                     
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
E                                  
But I heard that music on the radio
A                                  
And I swore some day I was gonna go
Gb                                    
Down to Highway ten past the Lafayette
Gb7         B7                            
There's the Baton Rouge and I won't forget
E                                 
To send you a card with my regrets
                            A        
'cause I'm never gonna come back home


[Chorus]
D        A                        
Saturday night and the moon is out
E               A                          
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
E                                      
Find a twostep partner and a Cajun beat
A                                     D   
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
           A                          
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
A                                         
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
E                                     A      
Wanna dance to a band from aLou'sian' tonight

[Verse]
E                                           
They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A                                     
A Gulf storm blowin' into town tonight
E                                 
Livin' on the Delta's quite a show
A                                             
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
Gb7                                    
But here up north it's a cold cold rain
B7                                        
And there ain't no cure for my blues today
E                                                         
Except when the paper says Beausoleil is acoming into town
A                 
Baby let's go down


[Chorus]
D                                 
Saturday night and the moon is out
A                                          
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
E                                      
Find a twostep partner and a Cajun beat
A                                         
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
D                                     
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
A                                         
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

E                                                    
Bring your mama bring your papa bring your sister too
     A                                 
They got lots of music and lots of room
E                                                                       
When they play you a waltz from aminus one thousand nine hundred and ten
A                                      
You gonna feel a little bit young again
Gb7                                            
Well you learned to dance with your rock'n'roll
B7                                
You learned to swing with a dosido
E                                    
But you learn to love at the faissodo
                             A   
When you hear a little Jolie Blon


[Chorus]
D                                 
Saturday night and the moon is out
A                                          
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
E

A                                     D   
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
                                 D    
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
E                A
