Lyrics
(Mary-chapin carpenter)
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 Gonna 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 Gonna dance to a band from a-lou'sian' tonight
They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie A golf storm blowin' into town tonight Livin on the delta's quite a show They got hurricane parties every time it blows And 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 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 beg for more Gonna 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 1910 You gonna feel a little bit young again Well you learned to dance with your rock'n'roll You learned to swing with a do-si-do But you learn to love at the fais-so-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 Gonna dance to a band from a-lou'sian' tonight
