Locked up in the classroom waiting for the

break

Down to the schoolyard and out through the

gate

Into the alley meet up with the boys

Waiting for the weekend to make a little noise

Thunder is strong, lightning is fast

Kick into gear and we started to blast

Screaming at the heavens like a frightening

storm

But it was Saturday night when heavy rock

was born

Chorus:

Like thunder and lightning

God damn, it’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 guy’s 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 has played a record, but now he’s got

to learn

Standing in the corner giving him a thrill

You can keep your lover honey, but he’ll have

to pay the bill

Repeat Chorus

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 was ready for a rubber (rumble) but the

mood wasn’t right

When he got up to leave

I stood in his way

I said now that you’ve had your fun the price

you’ll have to pay

In the doorway up against the wall

When they play a heavy record then I’m gonna

Have a ball

Repeat Chorus

We started to rumble I was tumbling in

We were rocking and rolling and rolling and

tumbling

I fumbled, he started to win

When they played another record then I hit him

again

I hit him again I couldn’t hit him anymore

My hands were black and blue and my jaw was

sore

Screaming at the heavens like a frightening

storm

But it was Saturday night when heavy rock

was born
