Saturday Night
For Love and Marine Biology, I wanted to write a combination of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn’s “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly” and the Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me Baby?”. This is what turned out.

Saturday night, my paycheck was heavy in my pocket.
I went to the bar to make the scene.
I saw you and my eyes flew out of their sockets.
And I said “Watch and learn fellers!
Tonight I’m going home with a beauty queen.”

Saturday night at the bar with my girlfriends…
Talking about what to talk about.
I saw you and said “Well, there goes my weekend:
Ten bucks says this joker asks me out.”
[BOTH]
But something drew me to you.
I felt like I knew you, baby.
[BOY]
I bought you a drink.
[GIRL]
Yeah, you bought me one drink…
[BOTH]
And the rest was history.
Something drew me to you.
I felt like I knew you, baby.
[BOY]
I took you home.
[GIRL]
You took me to your parents’ basement.
[BOTH]
And the rest was history.
The rest was history.
