[A] [E]
[A] [D] Saturday night and the moon is out [A] I wanna head on over to the twist and [E] shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat [A] When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my [D] feet
Out in the [A] middle of the big dance floor When I hear that middle I wanna beg for more
[E] Wanna dance to a band from Louisiana [A] tonight
[E] Had to never have a wander down to New [A] Orleans Never had trips to down a bayou [E] stream
But I heard that music on the radio [A] And I swore someday I was gonna go
[F#] Down to Highway 10, that's the Lafayette [B] there The back door on Rouge and I won't forget
[E] Send you a card with my regrets Cause I'm never gonna come [A] back home
[D] Saturday night and the moon is out [A] I wanna head on over to the twist and [E] shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat [A] When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my [D] feet
Out [A] in the middle of the big dance floor When I hear that middle I wanna beg for more
[E] Wanna dance to a band from Louisiana [A] tonight
[D]
[A] [E]
[A] [E] They got an alligator stew and a crawfish [A] pie I thought storm blowin' into town tonight
[E] Livin' on the Delta quiet shore [A] They got hurricane parties every time I close
[F#] But here up north it's a cold, cold [B] rain And there ain't no cure for my blues [E] today
Except when the paper says Bozeman It's a comin' into [A] town baby let's go [D] down
Saturday night and the moon is [A] out I wanna head on over to the twist and [E] shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat [A] When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my [D] feet
Out in the middle of the [Em] big dance [A] floor When I hear that middle I wanna beg for [E] more
Wanna dance to a band from Louisiana [A] tonight
[D] Bring [Em] [A] [E]
[A] [E] your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too
[A] They got lots of music and lots of room [E] When they play you will both swim to [A] 1910
You're gonna feel a little bit young again [F#] When you learn to dance with your rock and [B] roll
You learn to swing with the do-say [E]-do But you learn to love at the fake-o-do
When you hear a little [A] show-lit-la
[D] Saturday night and the moon is [A] out I wanna head on over to the twist and [E] shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat [A] When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
