ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT

Original Sam Cooke version

Another Saturday night, but I ain't got nobody
I got some money, 'cause I just got paid
Ah, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
Take this!

I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet 'em, I could get 'em
But as yet, I haven't met them
That's why I'm in the shape I'm in

Here, another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody
I got some money, 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Now, another fellow told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein

Here, another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody
I got some money, 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had some chick to talk to
I'm in an awful way
Yeah

Mm, it's another weekend
I ain't got nobody!
Man, if I was back home, I'd be swingin'!
Two chicks on my arm!
Ah, yeah!

Listen to me, huh?
It's a hard on a fellow, when he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey to help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town

Here, it's another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody
I got some money, 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had some chick to talk to
I'm in an awful
Everybody sing, another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody
I got some money, 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful
One more time, another Saturday night...
