Down At The Twist And Shout

On Chipmunks in Low Places

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
