[Verse 1]
  Cmaj7                              Fmaj7
I feel a little blue, 'cause I can't sew,

        Cmaj7                               Fmaj7
There's still a lot of things that I should know,

Em7
Anyone can guess,

  F                          Em7       A7
I don't know how to press my Saturday  ...clothes,

    Dm7              G
And everyone's going home
[Verse 2]
  Cmaj7                           Fmaj7
I feel a little sad to watch them leave,

    Cmaj7                              Fmaj7
But I'll be cool, because I don't be - lieve...

    Em7
The happy times are gone,

F                     Em7       A7
I can still put on my Saturday  ...clothes,

Dm7             G
Every warm body knows
[Bridge]
Cmaj7              Fmaj7
       I've got to     ...tell you...

Cmaj7           Fmaj7
       That was     ...a swell time,

   Em7               F
So now I'll take the butts away,

    Em7             F
And put the glasses on a tray,

     Em7              Am
I'll see you all next Saturday

   Am          Dm7         G     N.C.

[Verse 3]
  Cmaj7                              Fmaj7
I feel a little off, because they're gone,

    Cmaj7                            Fmaj7
And if my gal were here I'd still be on,

     Em7
But, in a week or two...

        F                          Em7      A7
There's lots of things to do in my Saturday...clothes

Dm7             G
Everyone's gone home
