Saturday night and the bar is packed
The drinks are watered
and the decks are stacked
The whores are grinning
with their faces cracked
And the gam blers cursing at
the horses they've backed
Saturday night and the bar is jammed
We've got our table
and the rest be damned
The waiter's hovering near at hand
We're loaded earlier than we planned
Some damn fool is starting a fight
Why does he wait for
Saturday night?
Mary and Eddie are busy indeed
Making up for lost time in the rear
George is beginning to sweat
While a stranger is sticking
her tongue in his ear
Dave is explaining the next revolution
Someone is granting the
crowd absolution
Whoever is running her foot up my leg
I love you
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Saturday night and the jukebox roars
Off in the corner the sound of snores
My head is ringing with noise and smoke
And someone's ordering
scotch and coke
Saturday night and my
friends are blind
They're rocking the table
just to blow my mind
I don't know why but I'm
on my knees
Showing my call how an ape climbs trees
Some damn fool is starting a fight
Why does he wait for Saturday
night?
Mary and Eddie are busy indeed
Making up for lost time in the rear
George is beginning to faint
While a stranger is sticking
her tongue in his ear
Dave is conducting the
next revolution.
Someone is granting the
crowd absolution.
Whoever is running her foot up my leg,
I love you.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
The Mary and Eddie are being arrested
for making up time in the rear.
George is out calling the cab
with a stranger
who still has her tongue in his ear.
Dave has abandoned the
next revolution.
Someone is canceling his absolution.
Whoever is running her
foot up my leg, I love you.
