Half past nine on a Saturday morning, birds are singin’
And the dogs are yawning - there’s a great excitement in the air
Down along each cobbled street, comes the sound of tiny feet
The games have stopped, no time to stand and stare

Sixpences all clutching tightly, little eyes a-shining brightly
Happy laughing kids without a care
As they skip and dance along, then you’ll hear that special song
Saturday cowboys sing it everywhere… they’re singing…

Mr, Mr, why are we waitin?’ Saturday cowboys don’t like waiting
Come on down and give them doors a push
We wanna see Lassie and Rin-Tin-Tin, Charlie Chaplin makes us grin
Saturday Cowboys love their Saturday rush

Saturday Cowboys rush to the pictures, clutching lollies and dolly mixtures
They’ll all get there faster if they run
I’ve put a six-gun in my sock, the usherette’s gonna get a nasty shock
When a plastic bullet hits her on the bum

Suddenly the doors fly open, through the dark they feel and fumble
Every cowboy’s got his favourite seat
Then you’ll hear the manager shout ‘Hey! Make less noise or I’ll chuck you out!’
But they don’t want to miss their Saturday treat, they’re singing…

Mr, Mr, why are we waitin?’ Saturday cowboys don’t like waiting
Come on down and give them doors a push
We wanna see Lassie and Rin-Tin-Tin, Charlie Chaplin makes us grin
Saturday Cowboys love their Saturday rush

Smokin’ Woodies and strikin’ matches, cheering the Cavalry and booing the Apaches
see Roy Rogers shoot that baddy dead
I’ve told me mum when I get bigger, I’m gonna get a horse that’s just like Trigger
And fill that pesky rent man full of lead

Suddenly the lights go on, the show is over and West is won
No more tomato ketchup to be shed
Twelve o’clock on a Saturday morning, birds still singing and the dogs still yawning, Saturday Cowboys eyes all tired and red… they’re singing…

Mr, Mr, why are we waitin?’ Saturday cowboys don’t like waiting
Come on down and give them doors a push
We wanna see Lassie and Rin-Tin-Tin, Charlie Chaplin makes us grin
Saturday Cowboys love their Saturday rush
