Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) Lyrics

[Intro]
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

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 [?]
