Routines part 1

The song Saturday Night describes their week, their routine, their habits... and parties!

 


Saturday Night

The Underdog Project

Every wicked minute
I sit here thinking of you
I can't wait to get in
I'm waiting for the week to be through
Saturday's the only day I wake up thinking 'bout
Cause any other day is just another day no doubt
Cause every time I think about you, thoughts go through my mind
And everybody's working for the weekend
(Chorus)
Everything is alright on a Saturday night
Tonight I've got all my fellas with a hunny by my side
The DJ spins a record till it hits the morning light
And everything's gonna be OK
Cause it's a Saturday
Ain't thinking about Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday it's all right
Ain't thinking about Thursday or Friday cause tonight's Saturday night
Every wicked hour
I think about you sitting by my side
And I can't wait much longer
Wanna show you how I feel for you tonight
Saturday's the only day I wake up thinking about
Cause any other day is just another day no doubt
Cause every time I think about you, thoughts go through my mind
And everybody's working for the weekend
(Chorus)
Everything is alright on a Saturday night
Tonight got all my fellas with a hunny by my side
The DJ spins a record 'till it hits the morning light
And everything's gonna be OK
Cause it's a Saturday
