[Intro]
This is our new single we wanna run by you

[Verse 1]
Went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine
Looked up into heaven, Lord, I saw a mighty sign
Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white
Get prepared 'cause there's gonna be a party tonight

[Chorus]
Uh-huh, hey, Saturday night
Hey, uh-huh, one more Saturday night
Hey, Saturday night

[Verse 2]
Now everybody's dancing down the local armory
With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery
The temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high
Come the rocking stroke of midnight, place is gon' go flyin'

[Chorus]
Uh-huh, hey, Saturday night
Hey, uh-huh, one more Saturday night
Hey, Saturday night
Ah yeah
