mary chapin carpenter - down at the twist and shout lyrics

Loading...

down at the twist and shout

sat-rday 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

sat-rday 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

sat-rday 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

sat-rday 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
