[Chorus]
Gonna take a nitcomb 
To get rid of me 
Cause I just realized 
That it was meant to be 

And I'm singing 
To all the torn betting slips 
Flying around my feet 
I'm talking to all the chewing gum 
That's stuck everywhere on the street 

And they're ringing the bells 
All over the city 
On a Saturday night 
Nobody knows why 
But they know its gonna be alright 

[Chorus]

And I'm standing at the sale 
Of the shoes of bankrupt men 
I just had to buy a pair 
To show I can live again 

And they're ringing the bells 
All over the city 
On a Saturday night 
Nobody knows why 
But they know its gonna be alright 

[Chorus]

And they're banging 
On the sheets of metal and sheets of gold 
And these were the finest shoes 
That were ever sold 
It's raining on roofs 
And raining on drums 
Love buys a six-pack 
And gives it to the bums 

And they're ringing the bells 
All over the city 
On a Saturday night 
Nobody knows why 
But they know its gonna be alright
