Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

Galleon

Saturday night in the men's ensemble dressing room

Startin' a fight in the men's ensemble lair

Beware of dreams come true

It means you have to share a room, but tell 'em I'll be there

(It's Saturday night)

They said we're one big family

But I'm just duckin' tangerines and lookin' for my gun

(It's Saturday night)

There's lots of hate and jealous fear and there's no favored nations here

Now where's my elf ears gone

(It's Saturday night)

Saturday night in the men's ensemble dressing room

Watchin' the fight in the men's ensemble lair

You may escape the cage

But then you have to share a stage, and tell 'em I'll be there

(It's Saturday night)

And now back to our new high school

And they got me wrong

Yeah, they got me wrong again

And although you're all talentless fools

Can't we get along

Can't we get along, my friends

I got to be free

I got to for me

And if you can't see, well, that's enough

That's all that I need to see you're all insecure, pedicured fucks

(It's Saturday night)

(It's Saturday night)

And now's the time to vindicate

Tomorrow's just a matinee

And then we settle scores

(It's Saturday night)

Just one more week and then I'm done

Just one more piece of chewing gum

And I don't care no more

(It's Saturday night)

Saturday night in the men's ensemble dressing room

Startin' a fight in the men's ensemble lair

You may escape the crypt

But keep your distance from all scripts

Because before you're even aware, you'll be there

(It's Saturday night)

(It's Saturday night)

Saturday night in the men's ensemble dressing room

Startin' a fight in the men's ensemble lair

(It's Saturday night)
