[Verse 1]
You get home just about sundown
And drop into the shower
And now you're starting to run round
And you know you've only got an hour
[Chorus 1]
Put your hat
And put your good clothes on
Everything has got to be right
For the Saturday night
[Verse 2]
You call your best friend on the telephone
To drop by and pick you up
And just about seven you hear him coming
With his fiberglass mufflers on his pick-up truck
[Chorus 2]
You look good
Oh baby, you feel good
Everything is gonna be right
'Cause it's Saturday night
[Verse 3]
You go to town and circle the Dairy Queen
To see who is hangin' out
With your elbow stuck out the window
You don't care if it all hangs out
[Chorus 3]
'Cause when you feel good
Oh mama, you look good
Everything is gonna be right
'Cause it's Saturday night
