What'll We Do On A Saturday Night 1919

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 16 Sep 2004

We all save our pennies up for Saturday night,
cause that is the night that we,
go out upon a spree;
Fellows take their girlies out on Saturday night,
when they get their salary;
Here's what I want to find out,
Here's what I'm worried about:

What'll we do on a Saturday night,
when the town goes dry?
Where will we go after seeing a show
to make the weary hours fly.
Imagine a fellow with a cute little queen,
trying to win her on a plate of ice cream;
What'll we do on a Saturday night,
when the town goes dry?

What'll we do on a Saturday night,
when the town goes dry?
Where will we go after seeing a show
to make the weary hours fly.
With no place to spend our money
we'll get off cheap,
we'll sit at home and rock the baby to sleep;
What'll we do on a Saturday night,
when the town goes dry?

Once I heard a wise professor,
making a speech,
on Income and Revenue,
and then when he got through;
he said: "Boys, I'll answer any question you ask,
so just put me to the task."
One fellow said with a sob:
"Won't you enlighten the mob?"

What'll we do on a Saturday night,
when the town goes dry?
Where will we go after seeing a show
to make the weary hours fly.
Imagine a fellow with a cute little queen,
trying to win her on a plate of ice cream;
What'll we do on a Saturday night,
when the town goes dry?

What'll we do on a Saturday night,
when the town goes dry?
Where will we go after seeing a show
to make the weary hours fly.
With no place to spend our money
we'll get off cheap,
we'll sit at home and rock the baby to sleep;
What'll we do on a Saturday night,
when the town goes dry?
