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

{c:verse 1}
Well I [G]never have wandered down to New Orleans
[C]Never have drifted down a bayou stream
But I [G]heard that music on the radio
And I [C]swore some day I was gonna go
Down [Am]Highway 10 past Lafayette
To [D7]Baton Rouge and I won't forget
To [G]send you a card with my regrets
'Cause I'm [G]never gonna come back [C]home

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

It's [F]Saturday night and the moon is out

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