Down to the schoolyard knocking the gate Into the alley meet up with the boys Waiting for the weekend to make a little noise Thunder is stronglightning is death Kicking the girls and it s starting to blast Sweeter than the heavens and the fate means stumble But it s Saturday night when heavy rock was born Like thunder and lightning god damnit 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 guys 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 would break a leg before but now he s got to run Standing in the corner giving him a thrill You can keep your lover honeybut he s got to pay the bill Like thunder and lightning god damnit s so exciting It hits you like a hammer god damn 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 wasn t ready for a rumble but the mood was right When he got up to leave I stood in his way I said love that s the price you have to pay In the doorway up against the wall When they play a heavy record then I m gonna have a ball Like thunder and lightning god damnit s so exciting It hits you like a hammer god damn Like thunder and lightning god damnit s so exciting It hits you like a hammer god damn We started to rumble and stumble It is we were rocking and rolling and rolling and tumbling I fumbled and started to win When the greater than wicked then I hit him again I hit him again and I couldn t hit him anymore My head was all black and blue and my jaw was sore Sweeter than the heavens and like a frightening stumble It was Saturday night when heavy rock was born
