Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
Its getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
Its seven oclock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old mans drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she dont care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Dont give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday nights alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
`cause saturday nights the night I like
Saturday nights alright alright alright
Well theyre packed pretty tight in here tonight
Im looking for a dolly wholl see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out "shes with me!"
A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
Im a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
