E
It's getting late have you seen my mates
D
Ma tell me when the boys get here
A
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
E
Want to get a belly full of beer
E
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
D
And my old lady she don't care
A
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
E
A handful of grease in her hair
Bm7
Ohhhhhhh
A
Don't give us none of your aggravation
G
We had it with your discipline
D
Saturday night's alright for fighting
A
Get a little action in
A
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
G
Gonna set this dance alight
D
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
A
Saturday night's alright
A D E
Al - right al - right
G D A
Oooooo oo-oo ooh
E Bm D

E
Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
D
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
A
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
E
I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"
E
A couple of the sounds that I really like
D
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
A
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
E
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
Bm7
Ohhhhhhh
A
Don't give us none of your aggravation
G
We had it with your discipline
D
Saturday night's alright for fighting
A
Get a little action in
A
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
G
Gonna set this dance alight
D
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
A
Saturday night's alright
A D E
Al - right al - right
G D A
Oooooo oo-oo ooh
