Saturday began just the same as other days
But ended up different in many ways
Love is in my world since Saturday

Mornin’ came but somehow it didn’t seem the same
The sadness of Friday had somehow changed
To the happy sounds of Saturday
Saturday, ever-loving Saturday

I whistle to bluebirds
I tried to tell them how you brought me sunshine
My head’s filled with new words
That sing to the sounds of happy day after Friday

Come and see the flowers of love she gave to me
The touches of laughter and harmony
To the happy sounds of Saturday
Saturday, ever-loving Saturday

My head’s full of new words
Sing to the sounds of the day after Friday
Day after Friday

Saturday, Saturday, ever-loving Saturday

Elements of the lyrics to Saturday are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by The Carpenters and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Saturday back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Saturday by The Carpenters in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Saturday" means the words set to the music of Saturday, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Carpenters. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
