[Chorus]
It's Saturday night in Halifax
The kids are out there dancing
It's the same old beat, it's all over the world
And in her eyes
I could've sworn I saw the Northern Lights
But it was a light flashing from the disco's silver ball

[Verse 1]
I come ten thousand miles to be here
I can't say that I'm not glad
I won't say that it's the best old time that I have ever had
And sure I'd like to dance, my girl
But hey, not to that song
For I hated it in Sydney, I despised it in Geelong

[Chorus]
And it's Saturday night in Halifax
The kids are out there dancing
It's the same old beat, it's all over the world
And in her eyes
I could've sworn I saw the Northern Lights
But it was a light flashing from the disco's silver ball

[Verse 2]
You saw me queuing for admission
Saw me looking at my watch
Saw me freezing in my jacket, fearful of the cold I'd catch
And I love the Bluenose girlies
I love the Bluenose beer
But when I dance to Whitney Houston
I wonder what I'm doing here

[Chorus]
And it's Saturday night in Halifax
The kids are out there dancing
It's the same old beat, it's all over the world
And in her eyes
I could've sworn I saw the Northern Lights
But it was a light flashing from the disco's silver ball

[Verse 3]
Now do you like the clothes I'm wearing?
Or perhaps I should have changed?
Can you understand my talking?
Do you think that I talk strange?
But if you can't understand me, darlin'
That's not such a shame
For the shit we talk at discos the world over sounds the same

[Chorus]
And it's Saturday night in Halifax
The kids are out there dancing
It's the same old beat, it's all over the world
And in her eyes
I could've sworn I saw the Northern Lights
But it was a light flashing from the disco's silver ball

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 4]
It seems now the night is over
It seems I've lost my mystique
She got the bloke from Montreal
I got a kiss upon the cheek
With a belly full of bitter
It's a walk home in the rain
There might be one more drunk in Halifax
But some things never change

[Chorus]
And it's Saturday night in Halifax
The kids are out there dancing
It's a rocking beat, it's all over the world
And in her eyes
I could've sworn I saw the Northern Lights
But it was a light flashing from the disco's silver ball

[Outro]
That dirty old silver ball
It gets me every time
