Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I have some money 'cause I just got paid. How I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in an awful way. I blew in town I week ago, I ain't seen a lot of girls since then. If I could meet 'em I could get 'em, but as yet I haven't met 'em, That's why I'm in the shape I'm in ohh Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I have some money 'cause I just got paid. How I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in an awful way. Another fella told me, he had a sister that looked so fine. Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strong resemblance to a Cat named Frankenstein ohh Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I have some money 'cause I just got paid. How I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in an awful way. It's hard for a fella, when he don't know his way around, If I can't find me a honey to help me spend my money, I'm gonna have to blow this town ohh Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I have some money 'cause I just got paid. How I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in an awful way.
