Today she's been working  she's been talking  she's been smoking  
but it'll be alright  
'cause tonight we'll go dancing  we'll go laughing  we'll get car sick  
and it'll be okay like everyone says  it'll be alright and ever so nice  
We're going out tonight  out and about tonight. 
Oh  whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night  
Oh whatever makes her happy  whatever makes it alright. 
Today she's been sat there  sat there in a black chair, office 
furniture, 
but it'll be alright, 
'cause tonight we'll go drinking we'll do silly things, 
and never let the winter in, 
And it'll be okay like everyone says, it'll be alright and ever so 
nice, 
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight. 
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night, 
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright. 
We'll go to peepshows and freak shows, 
We'll go to discos, casinos, 
We'll go where people go and let go 
oh whatever makes her happy
