I feel a blue ’cause I can’t sew
There’s still a lot of things that I should know
Anyone can guess
I don’t know how to press
My Saturday clothes
Everyone’s goin’ home
I feel a little sad to watch them leave
But I’ll be cool because I don’t believe
The happy times are gone
I can still put on
My Saturday clothes
Every warm body knows

I’ve got to tell you
That was a swell time
So now I’ll take the butts away
And put the glasses on the tray
I’ll see you all next Saturday

I feel a little off because they’re gone
And if my gal were here I’d still be on
But in a week or two
There’s lots of things to do
In my Saturday clothes
Everyone’s gone home

I’ve got to tell you
That was a swell time
So now I’ll take the butts away
And put the glasses on the tray
I’ll see you all next Saturday
