This ain't nothing but a little bitty town   Roll up the sidewalks everything's shut down   Down on the corner they're still hanging around   'Cause it's Saturday night down south      Clock on the courthouse says eleven o'clock   Kids in their cars still dragging the block   People go to bed with their doors unlocked   'Cause it's Saturday night down south      Me and my baby on the front porch swing   Tonight's the night I'm gonna give her a ring   And if she says yes, I'll have everything   Hot dog shut my mouth      Whippoorwill singing in the magnolia tree   Crickets making music for my baby and me   There ain't no other place that I'd rather be   When it's Saturday night down south, yeah      People down here like to take life slow   There ain't no place they're in a hurry to go   Just take it easy kinda roll with the flow   Take time to work things out      Full moon shining through the long leaf pines   Fireflies playing in the honeysuckle vine   Everybody's grooving, everything's just fine   'Cause it's Saturday night down south      Full moon shining through the long leaf pines   Fireflies playing in the honeysuckle vine   Everybody's grooving, everything's just fine   'Cause it's Saturday night down south [Incomprehensible]      Saturday night down south, oh, way down south
