Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

Saturday night
And the moon is out
I wanna head on over
To the Twist and Shout
Find a twostep 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

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 twostep 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
