Lyrics
chorus:
let's dance (3x) on saturday night
(repeat)
let's just dance on saturday night
you know it makes everything all right
so on saturday night
saturday night let's dance
sunday i gotta get ready for school
monday night i got homework to do
tuesday night i gotta jam with the band
and wednesday night i'm gonna do it again
thursday night i catch up on my sleep
friday night is when i start my week
chorus
sunday night we had a fight
something stupid, i don't even know right?
monday night we made it right
kissin' and a huggin' and lovin' all night
tuesday wednesday, thursday too
then i'm back to friday with you
friday night you were wined and dined
then saturday it's swingin' time
chorus
sunday night had to find a job
so i could do my lady right
the employment office was such a mob
had to get it out of my sight
tuesday night i talked to the band
said it's time to fish or cut bait men
let's rock (3x) on saturday night
repeat
make some scratch, play some tunes
make all them pretty girls swoon
on saturday night
saturday night let's rock
