Lyrics

Tie my ribbon, shine my shoes, Got a brand-new skirt in a bright sky blue.
Mama says, “Be home by ten!” But tonight’s the night we’ll dance again.
There’s a jukebox glow and a spotlight bright, The rink is rolling and the band’s in sight.
With a twang and a beat that won’t sit still, We’re gonna chase that rock ’n’ roll thrill!
Saturday night hayride, Spinnin’ fast and we can’t hide.
With the cotton candy kisses and the soda pop fizz,
We’re rockin’ to the rhythm like it’s all we ever did!
Saturday night hayride, Underneath the neon lights.
With the grown-ups staring, but we don’t care,
We’re skating to the sound of the midnight air!
The boys in leather with a sideways grin, Try to act cool but their hearts give in.
We spin on wheels, they tap their shoes, Every note is breakin’ all the rules.
The preacher’s wife shakes her head, But the drummer pounds and the bass runs red.
Some folks clap, some just frown, But we’re the happiest kids in town!
Saturday night hayride, Spinnin’ fast and we can’t hide.
With the cotton candy kisses and the soda pop fizz, We’re rockin’ to the rhythm like it’s all we ever did!
Saturday night hayride, Underneath the neon lights.
With the grown-ups staring, but we don’t care,
We’re skating to the sound of the midnight air!
Ooooh, the band’s playing wild and free,
Ooooh, it’s a brand-new melody!
The chaperones might try to keep us still, But this is Saturday night and we never will!
Saturday night hayride, Spinnin’ fast and we can’t hide.
With the cotton candy kisses and the soda pop fizz, We’re rockin’ to the rhythm like it’s all we ever did!
Saturday night hayride, Underneath the neon lights.
With the grown-ups staring, but we don’t care,
We’re skating to the sound of the midnight air!
Ohhh, Saturday night hayride… We’re skating to the midnight air!
