Down on commercial
The sound of a carnival
A thousand people just
Tearing up the street

The kind of night where
Anything's possible
So grab your coat and
Come along with me

They're shaking with the rhythm
Making with the rhyme
Jumping like they
Just won the 6/49

Half a million colours
Half a million lights
Just another
East-End Saturday Night

I'm on the outside looking in
But I ain't worrying
I just want to spread my wings

And let the jelly roll
We're rolling down the drive
Everybody knows that
It's Saturday Night

Down on the corner
The sound of laughter
Me and Billy just singing in the rain
Jane the DJ's hanging from the rafters
Some things man they just never change
She's playing Jackie Wilson
Singin' Stagger Lee
Clappin' her hands to a quarter to three
Everybody's smilin' 'cause everything's alright
Just another
East-End Saturday Night

I'm on the outside looking in
But I ain't worrying
No no no
I just want to spread my wings

And let the jelly roll
We're rolling down the drive
Everybody knows that
It's Saturday Night

We've got a world of problems now
And who knows what tomorrow may bring
So take your time I'm taking mine
Tonight the monkey sings

Let the jelly roll
We're rolling down the drive
Everybody knows that
It's Saturday Night
