Saturday Night Down on the Corner

Saturday night down on the corner
Saturday night, baby, they don’t want you

[Verse 1]
Jones’ brother Clyde is back
Shows up in his Cadillac
With Geraldine and Susie too
Why not? Beat’s got a new tattoo
Sidewalk’s hot with the smell of tar
Pants, perfume, and zitsuguy
Shoot the breeze
Rollin’ dice
A little sleaze is always nice

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s who we are
It’s who we’ll be
The street is a kingdom
A cage and a freedom
An island in the sea!

[Chorus]
Saturday night down on the corner
This is gonna be the night
Saturday night, baby they don’t want you
A new romance, a bloody fight
Saturday night down on the corner
People comе and people go
Saturday night, baby they don’t want you
Thosе who stay will always know

[Verse 2]
The summer’s heat is hitting highs
Tony’s dead, Lee is full of flies
Joe’s a loser, Bip’s a bruiser
But they can’t find no alibis
Duckin’ and divin’
Blippin’ and jivin’
Selling and buying
A rose or a gun
Hopping and singing
Tapping and swinging
Down on the corner is where I belong

[Chorus]
Saturday night down on the corner
This is gonna be the night
Saturday night, baby they don’t want you
A new romance, a bloody fight
Saturday night down on the corner
People come and people go
Saturday night, baby they don’t want you
Those who stay will always know

(Down on the corner)
(Down on the corner)

[Chorus]
Saturday night down on the corner
This is gonna be the night
Saturday night, baby they don’t want you
Saturday night down on the corner
People come and people go
Saturday night, baby they don’t want you

"This is Car 309, looks like those young folks are out on the street again. What should we do?"
"Well you know, if you can’t beat them… Join them!"

[Chorus]
Saturday night down on the corner
This is gonna be the night
Saturday night, baby they don’t want you
A new romance, a bloody fight
Saturday night down on the corner
People come and people go
Saturday night, baby they don’t want you
Those who stay will always know

[Outro]
You know that this—this is gonna be the night
A new romance, a bloody fight
People sing a hi-dee-ho
Those who stay will always know

Saturday night down on the corner
(Let’s hit em low)
Saturday night down on the corner
