Hey girls, you better listen to me
I'm getting starved with your company
All day Monday and all day Tuesday
I played football, there's nothing on the telly

Ever since I was just 13 years old
And I always felt shy but I acted so bold
I never had the money and I never had the class
But I always seemed to get myself a Saturday night piece of ass

Where the boys go on a Saturday night
Where the boys all go to hold you tight
Where the boys go Saturday night
Where the boys all go

Saturday morning and you see me down the pub
And I'm pissing away me money and I can't stand up
Cab fare, pop? You're silly in the road
Get in everybody, where the boys all go

Hey, never keep a secret from me
Never keep a secret from you, yeah
Never keep a secret from me

Yeah, where the boys go on Saturday night
Where the boys all go to hold you tight
Where the boys go to stand around and pose
Where the boys all go, showing off their clothes
Where the boys go, down the disco
Where the boys all go - where the boys all go
 
Hey girls, what are you doing tonight?
Now do you want to dance or do you want to fight?
See here, darling, I know the score
Paint your face, dye your hair, I'll see you round the back

Hey, never keep a secret from you, well, well, well, well
Never keep a secret from me, yeah
Never keep a secret from you - everybody knows...

Where the boys go on a Saturday night
Where the boys all go to hold you tight
Where the boys go on Saturday night
Where the boys all go - where they go, where they go

Where the boys go on Saturday night
Where the boys go to hold you tight
Where the boys go for a giggle and a laugh
Where the boys go, and a little bit of ass

Where the boys all go for a little piece of this
Where the boys all go, and a little bit of that
Where the boys all go for a little piece of stick
Where the boys all go, and a little piece of that

Where the boys go
Well the girls all know

And the girls all know

Where the boys all go
Well the girls all know

Where the boys all go
And the girls all know

Where the boys all go
Well the girls all know

Where the boys all go
Well the girls all know

Where the boys all go
Well the girls all know

Where the boys all go
Well the girls all know

Where the boys all go
And the girls all know

Where...

Ron: That will be very popular in England and here, I suppose. But on a Saturday night the boys all  go somewhere and it's usually down to where they can go out of their brains... drinking.
Mick:  And the pub.

(The backup vocalists) were just little girls who live up the road. In New York... Central Park West... (T)hey had all the attitudes off, it was the notes they couldn't get. (Laughs)

- Mick Jagger, 1980
