Saturday night
And the tap drips
Under the strip light
And I′m sitting
In the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip...
Waiting
For the telephone to ring
And I′m wondering
Where she′s been
And I′m crying for yesterday
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip...
It′s always the same...
It′s getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It′s seven o′clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man′s drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don′t care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Don′t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night′s alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
′Cause Saturday night′s the night I like
Saturday night′s alright alright alright
Well they′re packed pretty tight in here tonight
I′m looking for a dolly who′ll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out "She′s with me!"
A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I′m a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
Seems like a dream now, it was so long ago
The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow
And I swore that I loved her and gave her a ring
The bluebird was high on the wing
Whatever happened to saturday night
Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight?
She said,"tell me, oh, tell me, was I alright? "
Whatever happened to saturday night?
The years brought the railroad
It ran by my door
Now there’s boards on the windows
And dust on the floor
And she passes the time at another man’s side
And I pass the time with my pride
What a tangled web we weave
Go ’round with circumstance
Someone show me how to tell the dancer
From the dance
What ever happened
To saturday night?
Choosin’ a friend and loosin’ a fight
She said,"tell me, oh, tell me, are you alright? "
Whatever happened to saturday night?
Whatever happened to saturday night?
Hey girl, even though it hasn’t been that easy lately
you need to go on you’re dying for some air, oh baby
what′s the reason being low tonight
Come on ’n let me start you up that′s right
Shape up, do your hair the way I like ’n let’s go crazy
Ahhhhh
Cause, it’s Saturday night oh yeah
It′s gonna be alright I swear
Put them hot jeans on
I′ll show you how to have fun
It′s Saturday night oh yeah
( hey hey hey hey)
Let go, come along don′t wanna hear a no or a maybe
I know what you need I’m gonna give it to you baby
There’s something special that I have for you
Somehow I know you feel the same way too, yeah
That look in your eyes, no doubt about it, let’s go crazy
Chorus
Girl, we both know,
tonight it′s going down
So put them hot jeans on
