DOWN AT THE TWIST & SHOUT Mary Chapin Carpenter
---------------------------------------------------
[C]Saturday night and the [C]moon is out
I wanna [G]head on over to the [G]Twist and Shout
Find a [D]two-step partner and a [D]Cajun beat
When it [G]lifts me up I'm gonna [G]find my feet
[C]Out in the middle of a [C]big d[-]ance [D]floor
When I [G]hear that fiddle wanna [G]beg for more
Wanna [D]dance to a band from a-[D]Lou'sian' tonight[G] [G]
Well I [D]never have wandered down to [D]New Orleans
[G]Never have drifted down a [G]bayou stream
But I [D]heard that music on the [D]radio
And I [G]swore some day I was [G]gonna go
Down [Em]Highway 10 past [Em]Lafayette
To [A7]Baton Rouge and I [A7]won't forget
To [D]send you a card with [D]my regrets
'Cause I'm [D]never gonna come back h[G]ome
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 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 a-coming into town, baby let's go down
It's 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
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 and roll
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
But you learn to love at the fais-do-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
Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
