Chorus:
       C              F        C  
It's a great American Saturday night
C                            G
Drink a little more till the world looks better to ya
C                  F       C  
Anybody here wanna f**k or fight
       C              F        C                     G        C
It's a great American Saturday night, great American Saturday night


    C                  F       C 
You work all week at a job you hate
        C                      G 
Now the weekend's here and you just can't wait
       C                   F       C  
'Cause Mary tells you it's gettin' late
        C                          G
And you ain't gettin' younger, you know

C                                            F             C 
So get your clothes out of the cleaner's and blow-dry your hair
C               G 
Spray deodorant everywhere
C                             F            C
And paste on a smile like you really don't care
G                 C
Then get ready to go

Chorus

First you say, "Hi" Then you say, "My!"
"Do you come here often? Well, neither do I
And, hey, my place is right close-by
And I'd really like to be your friend

Then you wake up Sunday, it's a coal-gray day
You almost got lucky but it slipped away
But Saturday's only six days away
And you can start tryin' again

Chorus
