mama oh mama
now where have you been
down at the tahiti lounge
just drinking again
mama oh mama
now where did you go
one more night your little boy got left alone
thatâs okay
you know why
I got my Saturday
and I got me some cartoons
you can lay up drunk all day
I got capân crunch and scoobie doo
gonna go down to that olâ fishinâ hole
nine years old gigginâ frogs all alone
and iâm gonna take a stroll to the dairy queen
get me a dilly bar, and a cherry dip cone, and a steak finger basket, man
I just love my Saturday
all I got to do is pretend
close my eyes, count three and pray
mama, you ainât gonna hit me again
gonna watch the ballgame with grandpa in the afternoon
the new york mets are playing in cincinnati town
the vertical hold on the black and white donât work too good
but thatâs okay
tom seaverâs on the mound and he ainât throwinâ nothing but strikes, man
I just love my Saturday
playing pitch back ball outside
climbinâ trees iâm not afraid
someday iâm gonna leave this world
iâm gonna fly
bye bye
grandma made the best fried chicken in town
plenty of grape kool-aid you know to wash it down
tonight iâm gonna go to bed with my belly full
gonna wake up later and watch the midnight special
with wolfman jack, and I think the cars are on
Saturday has come and gone
but it will be back again
six days to wait
that ainât too long
I got baseball cards and plastic army men
and Saturday.
