ONE MORE SATURDAY NIGHT

One More Saturday Night

First performance: Tuesday, October 19, 1971 at Northrop Auditorium, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Saturday Night" appeared in the penultimate spot in the first set, following "Playing in the Band" and preceding "Casey Jones". Other firsts in the show, which was Keith Godchaux's first with the band, included "Tennessee Jed," "Mexicali Blues", "Jack Straw," "Comes a Time," and "Ramble On Rose." The song remained in the repertoire from then on. Although it was usually played on Saturday nights, this was not always the case.

Looked up in the heavens Lord I saw a mighty sign,

Written in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white

Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight.

3. I turn on channel six, the President comes on the news,

Says, "I get no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues"

His wife say "Don't get crazy, Lord, you know just what to do,

Crank up that old Victrola, put on them rockin' shoes."

Uh huh, Hey! Saturday Night! Yeah, Uh huh,

One More Saturday Night, Hey Saturday night!

4. Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth,

Thought He'd have a big old party, thought He'd call it planet Earth.

Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes,

When the rock and roll music meets the risin' sun.

Uhuh, Hey! Saturday Night! Yeh, uhuh

One More Saturday night, Hey Saturday night!.... Owwww!
