What'll We Do On A Saturday Night? (When The Town Goes Dry)
By Harry Ruby
Published 1919

[verse 1]
We all save our pennies up for Saturday night,
Cause that is the night we we,
Go out upon a spree;
Fellows take their girlies out on Saturdy night,
When they get their salary;
Here's what I want to find out,
Here's what I'm worried about:

[chorus 1]
What'll we do on a Saturday night,
When the town goes dry?
Where will we go after seeing a show
to make the weary hours fly?
Imagine a fellow with a cute little queen,
Trying to win her on a plate of ice cream;
What'll we do on a Saturday night,
When the town goes dry?

[verse 2]
Once I heard a wise professor, making a speech,
On Income and Revenue,
And when he got through;
He said, "Boys, I'll answer any questions you ask,
So just put me to the task;"
One fellow said with a sob,
"Won't you enlighten the mob?"

[chorus 2]
What'll we do on a Saturday night,
When the town goes dry?
Where will we go after seeing a show
to make the weary hours fly?
With no place to spend our money we'll get off cheap,
We'll sit at home and rock the baby to sleep;
What'll we do on a Saturday night,
When the town goes dry?
