      G
It's getting late have you seen my mates
    F
Ma tell me when the boys get here
      C
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
         G
Want to get a belly full of beer
   G
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
       F
And my old lady she don't care
    C
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
   G
A handful of grease in her hair
Dm7
Ohhhhhhh

Chorus:
C
Don't give us none of your aggravation
   A#
We had it with your discipline
 F
Saturday night's alright for fighting
 C
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
A#
Gonna set this dance alight
        F
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
 C
Saturday night's alright
C/E  C/F   C/F#  G   G/F E
Al - right al - right

Oooooo  oo-oo  ooh

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 out, "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 - x2

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!
Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!
Saturday! Saturday! Saturday night's 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, whoo
