happened on a saturday night (susie q)

well bobby's out with susie q

and larry's here trying to down a few cold ones

just to get her off his mind

he's drinking turkey like it's water

if the bar had something harder he'd be on it

in the blink of an eye

well just about then susie q walked in with that boy bobby

holding her hand

and some were scared to death and some held their breath but not a person there

didn't understand

it's all about love

one don't

one does

and that's just the way it is

one heart's movin' on

one heart's holding strong

and one's left on the fence

gonna be a sunday morning first light

grapevine telling lies

face to face deny

what happened on saturday night

then larry called the waitress over

tipped her a twenty just to hold her

and susie caught it out of the corner of her eye

she left bobby there standin' all alone empty-handed

as the band played why lady why"
