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)
