Mary Chapin Carpenter - Down At The Twist And Shout lyrics

(mary-chapin carpenter) Chorus: 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 (repeat chorus) 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 (repeat chorus) 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 (repeat chorus)
