The Twist
The Hit Crew Lyrics

Saturday night and the moon is out.
It's a Saturday night and the moon is visible outside.

I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout,
I want to go to a place called Twist and Shout.

Find a two-step partner and a cajun beat,
I want to find someone to dance a two-step with, while listening to cajun music.

When it lifts me up, I'm gonna find my feet
The energy of the cajun music will make me feel lively and I'll start dancing.

Out in the middle of a big dance floor.
I'll be dancing in the center of a large floor.

When I hear that fiddle, wanna beg for more.
When I hear the fiddle being played, I'll want more of it.

Wanna dance to a band from a Lousian' tonight.
I want to dance to a band from Louisiana tonight.

And I never have wandered down to New Orleans,
I've never been to New Orleans.

Never have drifted down a bayou stream.
I've never floated down a Bayou stream.

But I heard that music on the radio,
I've heard cajun music on the radio.

And I swore someday I was gonna go:
I promised myself that I'll go there someday.

Down a highway 10 past Lafayett;
I'll travel down Highway 10, which passes Lafayette.

There's a Baton Rouge.
I'll also find Baton Rouge on the way.

And I won't forget to send you a card with my regrets
I'll send you a card to apologize for not being able to return back home.

'cause I'm never gonna come back home.
I've decided never to return back home.

They gotta alligator stew and a crawfish pie,
In Louisiana, they serve dishes such as alligator stew and crawfish pie.

A gulf storm blowin' into town tonight.
There's a storm coming tonight, from the Gulf of Mexico.

Livin' on the delta it's quite a show.
Living on the delta is quite entertaining.

They got hurricane parties ev'ry time it blows.
People have parties every time a hurricane hits the area.

But here up north it's a cold, cold rain,
However, where I am (up North), it's just cold rain.

And there ain't no cure for my blues today;
There's no way to cheer me up today.

Except when the paper says Beousoleil is a comin' into town.
I'll only be happy if I hear that Beousoleil is coming to town.

Baby let's go down.
Let's go down and enjoy the music.

Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring you sister too.
Bring your entire family along with you.

They got lots of music and lots of room.
There's a lot of music and dancing space there.

When they play you a waltz form a nineteen ten,
They also play music from different eras, such as a waltz from 1910.

You're gonna fell a little bit young again.
When you dance to certain music, you'll feel young again.

Well you learn to dance with you rockin' roll,
You learn to dance rock n' roll.

You learn to swing with do-si-do.
You learn to swing dance with do-si-do.

But you learn to love at the fais do
However, it's the fais do (cajun dance party) where you learn how to enjoy and love dancing.

Do when you hear a little Jolie Blon.
Especially when you hear a popular cajun song called 'Jolie Blon'.

Whoo!
An exclamation of excitement or enthusiasm.
