Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Boys and Girls, are you ready?
The Saturday night is come, ready to go
When the night, like a fever,
Is taking me on the line, ready to fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Screaming with me all the night, just tonight
You have to take a fever, Woh-oh! Fever
Woh-oh! Fever
Another time to say I wanna be yours
You are my fever, oh baby!
[Chorus]
Saturday Night Fever!
Music on the floor
Beating in my soul forever
Saturday Night Fever!
The rhythm in my heart is beating for you, babe
Saturday Night Fever!
Take me to the top
Everybody feels the music
Saturday Night Feve-er!
Saturday is come,
The fever night really got me
[Verse 2]
When the night, like a fever
Is taking me on the line, ready to go
Boys and Girls, are you ready?
The Saturday night is come, ready to fly
