Elton John
Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) - NYE Live Version
[Verse 1]
It's getting late, have you seen my mates?
Sir, tell me when the boys get here
It’s seven o'clock and I wanna rock
Wanna get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady, she don’t care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
With a handful of grease in her hair
[Chorus]
Ohh
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We've had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
I'ma set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright
[Verse 2]
It’s packed pretty tight in here tonight
I’m looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I can use a little muscle to get what I need
I can sink a little drink and shout out, "She’s with me!"
A couple of 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]
Ohh, c'mon
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We’ve had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
I'ma set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright
[Instrumental Break]
"Alright, before we go in five, I want to introduce this amazing band!
Make some noise for Emlyn on keys!
Lewis Allen on guitar!
Dayna Fisher on bass!
And Rowan Thomas on drums, c'mon Ro!
Hey"
[Chorus]
Ohh
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We've had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright
[Outro]
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright
Saturday, oh-ey-ey-yeah
Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright
