        A
Let me put my arms around your head
F#m
Gee, its hot, lets go to bed
E
Dont forget to turn on the light
Dont laugh babe, itll be alright

Pour me out another phone (do-doo-ah)
I'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

      D                           A
And try to get it on like once before
      D                                  A
When people stared in jaggers eyes and scored
          F#m            B
Like the video films we saw

Chorus:
     C       D       G
His name was always buddy
           F      E       Am G
And hed shrug and ask to stay
      D                  G
Shed sigh like twig the wonder kid
     C        G     D
And turn her face away
        C      D       G
Shes uncertain if she likes him
          F        E      Am    G
But she knows she really loves him
        D                   G
Its a crash course for the ravers
     C G/B Am G  D/F# Em
Its a  drive-in saturday

Jung the foreman prayed at work (do-doo-ah)
That neither hands nor limbs would burst
It's hard enough to keep formation
Amid this fall out saturation (do-doo-ah)

Cursing at the Astronette (do-doo-ah)
Who stands in steel by his cabinet
He's crashing out with Sylvian
The bureau Supply for ageing men

With snorting head he gazes to the shore
Once had raised a sea that raged no more
Like the video films we saw

Chorus - x2

Drive-in Saturday
It's a drive-in Saturday
It's a drive-in Saturday
(drive, drive-in Saturday)
It's a drive-in Saturday
(it's a, it's a, it's a drive-in Saturday)
It's a drive-in Saturday
(it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a)
(It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a)
It's a drive-in Saturday
It's a drive-in Saturday
It's a drive-in Saturday
It's a drive-in Saturday
