A little driving on a Saturday night
A little jiving on a Saturday night
Despite the title of the song, the correct word in this line is "jiving"; it even says so on the official Sniff 'n' the Tears web site.
A little drowsy on a Saturday night
A little jiving on a Saturday night
A little jamming on a Saturday night
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And it's no leet (late)
There is no elite
Drive a 'Z'.
Driver's seat
I didn't know what I'd eat.
There is no elite.
Journey was sweet
Jenny was sweet
Little Johnny on a Saturday night.
A little jiving on a Saturday night.
Moody blue (The Moody Blues)
News is blue. (The news is blue)
Pick up the gun
Pick up, pick up
She had a weird look in her eyes.
She had another way of looking at life.
Show a smile for the people she needs
I'm trouble, let's drive
I don't know the way you came alive.
She always smiled for the people she'd meet
On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life.
The music blew (the music blew).
News is blue. (The news is blue.)
There is no relief
There is no elite
Tried to see, tried to see
Driver's seat, driver's seat
Traffic seat
Driver’s seat
