Down At The Twist And Shout by The Chipmunks Lyrics
Alvin:
Look at those guys dance!
Theodore:
Yeah!
Dave:
Well, I used to be quite a dancer myself
The Chipmunks:
That was a long time ago, Dave
Dave:
Not so long ago
I'm probably in better shape today than I was twenty years ago
The Chipmunks:
Ha ha ha ha!
Alvin:
Yeah, right!
Bet you can't stay out there 'til the song's over
Dave:
You're on!
The Chipmunks:
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
Alvin:
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
The Chipmunks:
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
Alvin:
To Baton Rouge
And I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrets
The Chipmunks:
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home
It's 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
Dave:
[gasps for air]
The Chipmunks:
Get up, Dave
Get up!
Dave:
How much longer?
Theodore:
We're almost half done
Alvin:
They got a alligator stew and a crayfish pie
A Gulf storm blowin' into town tonight
Living on the delta
It's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
But 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
The Chipmunks:
It's 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
Theodore:
Why is that lady holding Dave by the arm?
Simon:
To keep him from smashing his face on the dance floor
Theodore:
He doesn't look too good
Dave:
Oh!
Alvin:
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
The Chipmunks:
Well, you learned to dance with your rock and 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
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
Dave:
[gasps for air]
Simon:
I can't believe it
He's gonna make it!
Dave:
Yes!
Alvin:
One more time!
Dave:
Nooo!
The Chipmunks:
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
Look at those guys dance!
