Well, Saturday night at 8 o'clock I know where I'm gonna go.
|A                |           |                       |D
I'm gonna pick my baby up and take her to the picture show.
     |D          |                |                       |G      |
Everybody in the neighbourhood is dressing up to be there too-o-o.
|G                |D                |A             |D
  And we're gonna have a ball, just like we always do.

Saturday night at the movies,  who cares what picture you see?
            |D                            |A                    |D   |

Well, there's Technicolor and Cinemascope, a cast out of Hollywood.
        |A               |                    |                 |D
And the popcorn from the candy stand makes it all seem twice as good.
        |D             |                 |                         |G      |
There's always lots of pretty girls with figures they don't try to hi-i-ide.
|G               |D                 |A                 |D
  But they never can compare to the girl sittin' by my side.
