"Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" lyrics

"Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting"
(originally by Elton John)

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday

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
And a handful of grease in her hair

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We've 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
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's 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, "She's with me"
A couple of the sounds 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

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We've 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
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We've 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
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright, alright, alright
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright
