Union Maid:

Well you gassed her up
Behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
In your oldsmobile
Barrelin’ down the boulevard
You’re looking for the heart of saturday night

And you got paid on friday
And your pockets are jinglin’
And you see the lights
You get all tinglin’ cause you’re cruisin’ with a 6
And you’re looking for the heart of saturday night

Then you comb your hair
Shave your face
Tryin’ to wipe out ev’ry trace
All the other days
In the week you know that this’ll be the saturday
You’re reachin’ your peak

Stoppin’ on the red
You’re goin’ on the green
’cause tonight’ll be like nothin’
You’ve ever seen
And you’re barrelin’ down the boulevard
Lookin’ for the heart of saturday night

Tell me is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Telephone’s ringin’; it’s your second cousin
Is it the barmaid that’s smilin’ from the corner of her eye?
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye.

Makes it kind of quiver down in the core
’cause you’re dreamin’ of them saturdays that came before
And now you’re stumblin’
You’re stumblin’ onto the heart of saturday night

Well you gassed her up
And you’re behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
In your oldsmobile
Barrellin’ down the boulevard,
You’re lookin’ for the heart of saturday night

Is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Telephone’s ringin’; it’s your second cousin
And the barmaid is smilin’ from the corner of her eye
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye.

Makes it kind of special down in the core
And you’re dreamin’ of them saturdays that came before
It’s found you stumblin’
Stumblin’ onto the heart of saturday night
And you’re stumblin’
Stumblin onto the heart of saturday night



D 
Well you're gassed up, behind the wheel 
                Bm 
With your arms around your sweet one in your oldsmobile 
Em                                                A                                               D 
Hailing down the boulevard, you're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night 
D 
You got paid on Friday and your pockets are janglin' 
       Bm 
And then you see the lights, you get all tinglin' 
              Em                                 A                                               D 
'cause you're cruisin' with a six, you're looking for the heart of Saturday night 
  
Chorus 1 
                 G                     A                    D 
Then you comb your hair, shave your face, trying to wipe out every trace 
     G                     Em 
Of all the other days in the week, you know 
         A 
That this'll be the Saturday you're reaching your peak
