Saturday Night Special Lyrics By Lynyrd Skynyrd

    two feets they come a creepin’
    like a black cat do
    and two bodies are layin’ naked
    a creeper think he got nothin’ to lose

    pre
    so he creeps into this house yeah
    and unlocks the door
    an’ as the man’s reaching for his trousers
    he shoots him full of 8 holes

    mister saturday night special
    got a barrel that’s blue and cold
    it ain’t good for nothing but puttin’ men six feet in a hole

    big jim’s been drinking whiskey
    and playing poker on a losing night
    an’ pretty soon ol’ jim starts athinkin’
    somebody been cheatin’ and lyin’
    so big jim commence to fighting
    i wouldn’t tell you no lie
    big jim done pulled his pistol
    shot his friend right between the eyes

    mister saturday night special
    got a barrel that’s blue and cold
    it ain’t good for nothing but puttin’ men six feet in a hole

    hmm and that’s the saturday night special
    for twenty dollars you can buy yourself one too

    here it come

    oh lemme tell you all about it

    hand guns are made for killing
    they ain’t no good for nothing else
    and if you like to drink your whiskey
    you might even shoot yourself

    pre
    so why don’t we dump ’em people to the bottom of the sea
    before some old fool come around here
    wanna shoot either you or me

    mister saturday night special
    you got a barrel that’s blue and cold
    you ain’t good for nothing but puttin’ men six feet in a hole

    it’s a saturday night special
    and i’d like to tell you what you can do with it too
    and that’s the end of this song
