Seems like a dream now, it was so long ago

The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow

And I swore that I loved her and gave her a ring

The bluebird was high on the wing



Whatever happened to Saturday night

Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight?

She said,"Tell me, oh, tell me, was I all right?"

Whatever happened to Saturday night?



The years brought the railroad

It ran by my door

Now there's boards on the windows

And dust on the floor

And she passes the time at another man's side

And I pass the time with my pride



What a tangled web we weave

Go 'round with circumstance

Someone show me how to tell the dancer

From the dance



What ever happened

To Saturday night?

Choosin' a friend and loosin' a fight

She said,"Tell me, oh, tell me, are you alright?"

Whatever happened to Saturday night?

Whatever happened to Saturday night?
