Drive-In Saturday (Live at the Elysée Montmartre, Paris on 14th October, 1999) Lyrics

[Intro]
This is, uh, this is very very old: 1974, we're going to now. You have to imagine: lots of hair, more makeup than I've got on, much more makeup... what else? What shall I put on tonight? Nothing on, same old clothes, Emperor's New Clothes in this song; all about watching video to try to understand how to do sex. What a ridiculous subject for a song, it's called "Drive-In Saturday"

[Verse 1]
(Do-doo-ah)
Let me put my arms around your head
(Do-doo-ah)
It don't matter, here instead [?]
Don't forget to turn on the light
Don't laugh, Babe, it'll be alright
(Do-doo-ah)
Pour me out another phone
(Do-doo-ah)
We'll ring and see if your friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book, we can read up alone

[Pre-Chorus]
And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in Jagger's eyes and scored
Like the video films we saw

[Chorus]
His name was always Buddy
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
And turn her head away
She's uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers
It's a drive-in Saturday
(Drive-in Saturday)
[Verse 2]
Jung the foreman prays at work
(Do-doo-ah)
That neither hands nor limbs would burst
Hard enough to keep formation
Amid this fall out saturation
(Do-doo-ah)
Cursing at the Astronette
(Do-doo-ah)
That stands in steel by his cabinet
He's crashing out with Sylvian
The bureau Supply for ageing men

[Pre-Chorus]
With snorting head he gazes to the shore
Where once had raged the sea that rages no more
Like the video films we saw

[Chorus]
His name was always Buddy
(Do-doo-ah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
And she'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
(Do-doo-ah)
And turn her face away
She's uncertain if she likes him
(Do-doo-ah)
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers
(Do-doo-ah)
It's a drive-in Saturday
(Drive-in Saturday)
[Outro]
Saturday
Sat-sat-sat-sat-saturday
It's a
Yes a, yes a, yes a Saturday
Drive-in Saturday
Drive-in Saturday
Drive-in Saturday
Thank you very much

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 [?]
