lyrics
I met her at the hop, down in Hot-Rod High
We danced through the night, things were good (things were so right)
Who would've thought that we wouldn't get far?
That I'd be sitting all alone, every night, in my car?
I met her at the beach, and she took me by the hand
Looked me in the eyes and said "You don't understand,
I don't wanna be your surfer girl tonight..."
So I'm sitting at the drive-in in my daddy's old Ford
I'm the one she never picked, the one that she ignored
I try and I try, but I never get it right
I'm sitting in my '49 Ford, on a Saturday night
At the drive in
On a Saturday night
At the drive in
My daddy said that she would break my heart
I'd think we were close, but we'd be so far apart
She's running 'round, messing 'bout with other guys
"I see how you feel by the sorrow in your eyes"
I met her by the beach, and she took me by the hand
Looked me in the eyes and said "You don't understand,
I don't wanna be your surfer girl tonight..."
So I'm sitting at the drive-in in my daddy's old Ford
I'm the one she never picked, the one that she ignored
I try and I try, but I never get it right
I'm sitting in my '49 Ford, on a Saturday night
At the drive in
On a Saturday night
At the drive in
On a Saturday...
Ooooh (x4)
On a Saturday
Ooooh (x4)
On a Saturday
I met her by the beach, and she took me by the hand
Looked me in the eyes and said "You don't understand,
I don't wanna be your surfer girl tonight..."
So I'm sitting at the drive-in in my daddy's old Ford
I'm the one she never picked, the one that she ignored
I try and I try, but I never get it right
Now I'm sitting in my '49 Ford, on a Saturday night
At the drive in
On a Saturday night
At the drive in
ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
We danced through the night, things were good (things were so right)
Who would've thought that we wouldn't get far?
That I'd be sitting all alone, every night, in my car?
I met her at the beach, and she took me by the hand
Looked me in the eyes and said "You don't understand,
I don't wanna be your surfer girl tonight..."
So I'm sitting at the drive-in in my daddy's old Ford
I'm the one she never picked, the one that she ignored
I try and I try, but I never get it right
I'm sitting in my '49 Ford, on a Saturday night
At the drive in
On a Saturday night
At the drive in
My daddy said that she would break my heart
I'd think we were close, but we'd be so far apart
She's running 'round, messing 'bout with other guys
"I see how you feel by the sorrow in your eyes"
I met her by the beach, and she took me by the hand
Looked me in the eyes and said "You don't understand,
I don't wanna be your surfer girl tonight..."
So I'm sitting at the drive-in in my daddy's old Ford
I'm the one she never picked, the one that she ignored
I try and I try, but I never get it right
I'm sitting in my '49 Ford, on a Saturday night
At the drive in
On a Saturday night
At the drive in
On a Saturday...
Ooooh (x4)

On a Saturday night
At the drive in

about

and 60's youth rebellion and bring it right up to date, with a killer combination of catchy choruses, pounding rhythms and howling guitars.
Featuring "Juke Joint" JR on Vocals & Guitar, Amber "404" Blenkinsopp on Bass and Luke "The Hammer" Turner on Drums & Backing Vocals.
