Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting
Music by - Elton John
Lyrics by - Bernie Taupin
From - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Peaked at #12 - 9/73
It's getting late, have you seen my mates
Ma, 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 a drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair

So don't give us none of your aggravation
We've had it with your discipline
Oh, Saturday night's alright for fightin'
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...ooh...

Well, they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly to 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 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, oh...

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...ooh...

Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation...
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday 
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's alright...
