Lyrics
Gonna shine, shave, shower and brush my teeth
Go out and dance and forget my grief
Make all the nightclubs in this town
‘Cause my sweet Baby’s gonna show me around
Well, we go here and there and ev’rywhere
Where we go I just don’t care
We’ll do the town up and we’ll do it right
Because tonight is Saturday night
Who cares if talk get’s around?
Just ’cause I’m sly and not so meek
Saturday don’t come but once a week
Gonna shine, shave, shower and brush my teeth
Get out and dance and forget my grief
Make all the night clubs in this town
‘Cause my sweet Baby’s gonna show me around
Gonna shine, shave, shower and brush my teeth
Go out and dance and forget my grief
Make all the nightclubs in this town
‘Cause my sweet Baby’s gonna show me around
Well, we go here and there and ev’rywhere
Where we go I just don’t care
We’ll do the town up and we’ll do it right
Because tonight is Saturday night
Daylight will ketch me goin’ strong
One only lives once in a life
And I don’t have a naggin’ wife
Gonna shine, shave, shower and brush my teeth
Get out and dance and forget my grief
Make all the night clubs in this town
‘Cause my sweet Baby’s gonna show me around
Gonna shine, shave, shower and shampoo
Go out and dance the whole night through
I’ll swing it left and I’ll swing it right
‘Cause tonight is Saturday night
