Saturday Night – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Today she's been working
She's been talking
She's been smoking
It's gonna be alright
'Cause tonight we'll go dancing
We'll go laughing
We'll get car sick
And it'll be okay, like everyone says
It'll be alright and ever so nice
We're going out tonight
Out and about tonight
Oh, whatever makes her happy
On a Saturday night
Oh, whatever makes her happy
Whatever makes it alright
Today she's been sat there
Sat there in a black chair
Office furniture
But it'll be alright
'Cause tonight we'll go drinking
We'll do silly things
And never let the winter in
And it'll be okay, like everyone says
It'll be alright and ever so nice
We're going out tonight
Out and about tonight
Oh, whatever makes her happy
On a Saturday night
Oh, whatever makes her happy
Whatever makes it alright
We'll go to freak shows and peepshows
We'll go to discos, casinos
We'll go where people go and let go
Oh, whatever makes her happy
On a Saturday night
Oh, whatever makes her happy
Whatever makes it alright
Oh, whatever makes her happy
On a Saturday night
Oh, whatever makes her happy
Whatever makes it alright
Oh, oh, la la-la, la la-la
Oh, oh, la la-la, la la-la
Oh, oh, la la-la, la la-la
Oh, oh, la la-la, la la-la
Oh, oh, la la-la, la la-la
Oh, oh, la la-la, la la-la
