One More Saturday Night
Lyrics: Bob Weir
Music: Bob Weir
I went down to the mountain, I was
drinking some wine
I looked up into heaven, lord I saw a mighty sign
Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white
Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight
Chorus
Uh huh, hey, Saturday night
One more Saturday night
Hey, Saturday night
Everybody's dancing down at the local armory
With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery
Temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high
Come the rocking stroke of midnight, the whole place is gonna fly
[chorus]
I turn on Channel Six, the President comes on the news
Says I got no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues
His wife says don't get crazy, Lord you just know what to do
Just crank that old Victrola, put on your rocking shoes
[chorus]
Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth
Thought he'd have a big old party, thought he'd call it planet earth
Don't worry about tomorrow, Lord, you'll know it when it comes
When the rocking, rolling music meets the rising, shining sun
[chorus]

2. On at least one occasion at Winterland, Bob sang
"local skating rink" instead of "local armory." 3. Bob sometimes sang "I turn on my TV" instead of "I turn on Channel Six." 4. On at least one occasion, Bob sang "Nancy says don't get crazy, Ron"
instead of "His wife says don't get crazy." 5. Bob sometimes sang "His wife says don't get crazy, George" instead of "His
wife says don't get crazy." 6. Bob sometimes sang "break out your rocking shoes" instead of "put on your
rocking shoes." 7. In early performances, Bob sang two different lines at the end of the
final verse:I may be young and crazy, but I can't see reason one
For fightin' or complainin' when we should be havin' fun
