Saturday Nights alright for fighting (Dancing?)  (Elton John) - STING 22414   (Stefan Sidholm)

 

  (Opener): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

It's getting late have you seen my mates - Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock - want to get a belly full of beer

ALLEMANDE and WEAVE

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys - and my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots - a handful of grease in her hair

 

 

 (Figures): Heads you SQUARE THRU - FOUR hands ‘round - find a little Lady there you know

SWING THRU tonight - SPIN YOUR TOP - boy walk up and do the RIGHT AND LEFT THRU

TWO LADIES CHAIN - DIXIE STYLE - BOY TURN AROUND - PROMENADE

'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright, ooh 

 

 

 (Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight - I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need - I may sink a little drink and shout out

ALLEMANDE and WEAVE

A couple of the sounds that I really like - are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class - whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass, oh

 

 

 (Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday - Saturday, Saturday, Saturday

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday - night's alright

ALLEMANDE and you WEAVE THE RING

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday - Saturday, Saturday, Saturday

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday - night's alright

 

 

 (Tag): FOUR LADIES CHAIN OVER AND BACK:

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday - Saturday, Saturday, Saturday

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday - night's alright

 

 

 (Original Lyrics)

 

It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair

 

Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Oh, Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright, ooh

 

Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out she's with me

A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass, oh

 

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
night's alright
