Down At The Twist and Shout Mary-Chapin Carpenter
E A
D
Saturday night and the moon is out
A
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
E
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
A
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
D D
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
A A
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
E A
Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
E
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
A
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
E
But I heard that music on the radio
A
And I swore some day I was gonna go
F#m
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
B7
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget
E
To send you a card with my regrets
A
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home
D
Saturday night and the moon is out
A
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout

E
They got an alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A
A gulf storm blowing into town tonight
E
Living on the delta's quite a show
A
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
F#m
But here up north it's a cold, cold rain
B7
And there ain't no cure for my blues today
E
Except when the paper says Beausoleil
A
Is a-coming into town, baby let's go down

E
Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too
A
They got lots of music and lots of room
E
When they play you a waltz from a-1910
A
You're gonna feel a little bit young again
F#m
Well you learned to dance with your rock and roll
B7
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
E
But you learn to love at the fais-do-do
A
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
D
Saturday night and the moon is out

I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
