Locked up in the classroom waiting for the fight

Down to the schoolyard knocking the gate

Into the alley meet up with the boys

Waiting for the weekend to make a little noise



Thunder is strong, lightning is death

Kicking the girls and it's starting to blast

Sweeter than the heavens and the fate means stumble

But it's Saturday night when heavy rock was born



Chorus:

Like thunder and lightning

god damn, it's so exciting

It hits you like a hammer

god damn



It was Saturday night I was ready for the dance

My girl walked in holding another guys hand

He stood six foot six he looked two miles wide

I was taking it easy till he took her outside



I was madder than hell and fit to burn

This guy would break a leg before but now he's got to run

Standing in the corner giving him a thrill

You can keep your lover honey, but he's got to pay the bill



Well the place started rocking it was Saturday night

I was dressed to kill I was feeling alright

Alright in the middle of the night

I wasn't ready for a rumble but the mood was right



When he got up to leave

I stood in his way

I said love that's the price you have to pay

In the doorway up against the wall

When they play a heavy record then I'm gonna have a ball



We started to rumble and stumble

It is we were rocking and rolling and rolling and tumbling

I fumbled and started to win

When the greater than wicked then I hit him again



I hit him again and I couldn't hit him anymore

My head was all black and blue and my jaw was sore

Sweeter than the heavens and like a frightening stumble

It was Saturday night when heavy rock was born
