Get Down Saturday Night

Lyrics

Get down, it’s Saturday night
Saturday night, Saturday night
Get down, it’s Saturday night
Saturday night, Saturday night
Saturday morning,
Friday’s at an end
Housework is calling,
But where to begin
Kids are out of school,
Trying to find a friend
Everybody’s busy,
Can’t wait for the night to begin
You work all week long,
You work your fingers to the bone
Friday’s at an end,
I can’t wait for Saturday to begin!
