Locked up in the classroom waiting for the break Down to the schoolyard and out through the gate Into the alley meet up with the boys Waiting for the weekend to make a little noise Thunder is strong, lightning is fast Kick into gear and we started to blast Screaming at the heavens like a frightening storm But it was Saturday night when heavy rock was born Chorus: Like thunder and lightning God damn, it’s so exciting It hits you like a hammer God damn It was Saturday night I was ready for the dance My girl walked in holding another guy’s hand He stood six foot six he looked two miles wide I was taking it easy till he took her outside I was madder than hell fit to burn This guy has played a record, but now he’s got to learn Standing in the corner giving him a thrill You can keep your lover honey, but he’ll have to pay the bill Repeat Chorus Well the place started rocking it was Saturday night I was dressed to kill I was feeling alright Alright in the middle of the night I was ready for a rubber (rumble) but the mood wasn’t right When he got up to leave I stood in his way I said now that you’ve had your fun the price you’ll have to pay In the doorway up against the wall When they play a heavy record then I’m gonna Have a ball Repeat Chorus We started to rumble I was tumbling in We were rocking and rolling and rolling and tumbling I fumbled, he started to win When they played another record then I hit him again I hit him again I couldn’t hit him anymore My hands were black and blue and my jaw was sore Screaming at the heavens like a frightening storm But it was Saturday night when heavy rock was born
