Down At the Twist and Shout Written by - Mary Chapin Carpenter From - Shooting Straight In the Dark 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 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 Wanna dance to a band from a Lou'sian' tonight They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie A gulf storm blowin' 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 'Beau Soleil 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 dance some more Wanna 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 a 1910 You're gonna feel a little bit young again Well you learned to dance with your rock an' roll You learned to swing with a doe see doe But you learn to love at the fais so do When you hear a little 'Jolie Blond' 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 Lou'sian' tonight ©EMI April Music / Getarealjob Music |
