Saturday Night Lyrics

Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night

Saturday night (Do do do do do do)
Saturday night (Do do do do do do)
Saturday night (Do do do do do do)
Saturday night (Do do do do do do)

Saturday night (well if you don't like it, why are you standing there for twenty minutes?)
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night

Saturday night's already old
Walking into Sunday, and I find
All desires are cold
I could walk forever, I don't mind
Show me a light, your company
Goes a little way to help me see
The path on which I'm bound
Rather than the things I leave behind

I've got the keys to the city
Baby
I can feel my luck
I got two days' money
If you light me up
This heart will shine on
"L'esclavage D'amour
It will be ours forevermore"
Words we both recall
Either from a lover, or the law
Saturday night, my steps have shown
I can walk away from all I've know
Goodnight, my friend, goodbye
Remember what they say
When you're alone, laugh or die

Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“The band I’d been in for ten years was breaking up”, Don Walker said of the song. “I think it’s just a ‘kissing all that goodbye and moving on into the unknown’ song.”
Kruger, Debbie (2005). Songwriters Speak. Balmain, New South Wales: Limelight Press. p. 279.
