[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 F Em7 A7
Anyone can guess, I don't know how to press my Saturday ...clothes,
Dm7 G7
And everyone's going home!
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
I feel a little sad to watch them leave, but I'll be cool,
Fmaj7 Em7
Because I don't be - lieve ...the happy times are gone,
F Em7 A7 Dm7 G7
I can still put on my Saturday ...clothes, every warm body knows!
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I've got to ...tell you ...that was ...a swell time,
Em7 F Em7 F
So now I'll take the butts away, and put the glasses on a tray,
Em7 Am Dm7 G7
I'll see you all next Saturday! | / / / | / / / | / / / |

I feel a little off, because they're gone,

There's lots of things to do in my Saturday ...clothes,
Dm7 G7
Everyone's gone home!
