1. Seven days of Saturday is all that I need,

      C

    got no use for Sundays ‘cause I don‘t rest in peace.

    C

    I don‘t need no money for the rest of the week,

                   C 

    I spent a lot of time in bed, but baby, I don‘t like to sleep, no.

G                             - G

    I won‘t lie to you,        I‘m never gonna cry to you,

G                                                                   G7

    I‘ll probably drive you wild eight days a week.

 

               C                             F                       C

Until I‘m six feet under, baby, I don‘t need a bed,

I’m gonna live while I‘m alive, I‘ll sleep when I‘m dead.

Till they roll me over and lay my bones to rest,

            F                                  Bb                      C

gonna live while I‘m alive, I‘ll sleep when I‘m dead.

2. So you‘re looking for some action, I got everything you need,

                 C

    better keep for motor running, I was built for speed,  

            C

    this ain‘t no slumber party, got no time for catching z‘s,

                 F

    if they say it ain‘t healthy, well, then living‘s a disease.

G

    We‘re never gonna die, baby, well, come on, let me drive you crazy,

G                                                                       G7

    we‘ll make every night another New Year‘s eve.
