[Verse 1]
I need a little sugar after supper
Need a little honey in the night
I need another dollar in my pocket
Then I'm gonna be alright

[Chorus]
When I go uptown
Uptown, Saturday uptown
Going uptown Saturday night, myeah

[Verse 2]
Gimme a little gospel for my spirit
Gimme a little lovin' for my soul
Gimme a little comfort for my trouble
Then I never will grow old

[Chorus]
I'm going uptown (Uptown Saturday night)
Yeah, uptown (Uptown, uptown)
Sweet Saturday uptown (Uptown Saturday night)
I'm going uptown Saturday night

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I'm going to live as long as I can make it
Gonna take enough to get me by
I'm going to keep trying to get lucky
Bet'cha I'll smiling when I die
[Chorus]
I'm going uptown (Uptown Saturday night)
Way uptown (Uptown, uptown)
Saturday uptown (Uptown Saturday night)
I'm going uptown Saturday night
Heading on uptown (Uptown Saturday night)
Where the chicks are fine (Uptown, uptown)
Saturday uptown (Uptown Saturday night)
I'm going uptown Saturday night, oh, oh
I'm going uptown Saturday night
I'm going uptown (Uptown Saturday night)
Way uptown (Uptown, uptown)
Gonna get lucky uptown (Uptown Saturday night)
Going uptown Saturday night
