Earth, Wind And Fire - Saturday Nite Lyrics
It was Saturday nite,
the moon was bright
Shining down, it's harvest light
Music all around to hear, set the stage
And atmosphere-many dress to suit
Tonite's the night, for you to be
Biggest man in history
Saturday nite's your curtain call
You found your place after all
I saw a face in the crowd
Sayin' nothin', yet talking loud
Life is just a day
Living games we play
Do what Simon says
Doing what you feel,
Games can be unreal
Humpty-Dumpty when you fall
There be no one here to call
Life is stil your mystery
You see, you see, you see
Many friends, who gather 'round
In hope, to feel safe and sound
We emphasize, to make it clear
Our stumbling nations atmosphere
While looking thru the looking glass
Our vision show, a stormy past
When you gonna wake, and see the sun-
Stop wasting time and having fun
Life is just a day
Daily games we play
London Bridge has fallen down
You did what Simon said
Doing what you feel
Games are so unreal
Humpty-Dumpty why'd you fall
You see there's no one here to call
Now we've solved this mystery
You see, you see, you see

Earth, Wind And Fire Saturday Nite Comments
Greta song for a SaturDAY NIGHT in the 70;s when it was safe to go to club AND JUST ENJOY YOURSELF GROOVIN and Dancing to EWF! and can't forget the Ladies! just think yall!.. Saturday nights used to be a safe! ! time to hang out and party! LOL!~ no gun fire! just FUN AND MORE FUN!
I like the unheard version were Maurice says Yabba dabba doo you look like shaggy from scooby doo!!
Back in the day when I was clubbing on Saturday night I was talking loud, saying nothing, but man was it cool!!! LOL!!! Clubbing with Earth, Wind, & Fire!!!
I was about 17 when this song came out lot’s of memories
SEPTEMBER 23 , 2019......WHO STILL FEELING THIS !!!!!!......SAY HO.........DJ HOLLYWOOD SPINNING SINCE 1978...
This is Charles Stepney. Sorry folks but Maurice White and the record companies stole all the credit for this arrangement and writing after Charles Stepney died in May 1976. This was already in the can...very sad
Note: after EWF started really writing their own stuff post 1977 that’s when their “sound” changed. This is the sound they got from Stepney. People laud Maurice White but he didnt do this he just took credit. In fact, he even had to settle out of court with the family for all this shit and Stepney’s family still didn’t get all they were robbed of. Real talk
This song explain it all. The biggest band in history
back when music made you get up outta your seat!
1:43 ほっぺを精一杯見せる
When Maurice sings London Bridges Falling Down, I lose it every time!
RIP Maurice White.
Lydgia that’s Philip
Saw this group July 28,2019 in concert! They were awesome!
Maurice on drums and Verdine on Bass,the best groove ever!
I remember this song on Saturday mornings
1:42 ほっぺを精一杯見せる🎵
I still have this album. I recently had a chance to see EWF, but did not go because of the absence of Maurice White. Without him there is no Earth Wind and Fire. Rest in Peace Maurice. Thank You for Blessing us with your talent.
You don't get much better than this group! Voices, instruments, they had it all!!!
Saturday night y'all
enjoy!!!
Wow its a Saturday night and I'm playing this
They had to have fun making this record because I'm having fun listening to it
We are dignified in here!
03:45 なんでアイツ笑ってんだよ
What are they saying at the end ? and why are they laughing ?
3:53 何であいつ笑ってんだよ!?🎵
"WHAT?!!". . . . If you ain't feelin' this funk then dammit it ain't for you!!!!
WHADAFUK YOU STOP BY HERE
FO WIT YO IGNORE ASS. 🗨️😎
Disco or funk, you still danced you’re arse off to it
No "N" word. No Cursing, No bad mouthing! Simply CLASS. That's how to ROCK.
Totally agree with you. 100%. 1000%. Especially when it comes to to to the N-word. Nowdays it seems that the industry does not feel that a song is worth it's content unless you cram it with as many N-words as marketably possible.
Winifred Ogilvie Funny you say that. Maurice actually does say the N word in this song. Lol
@Troy Elam
If you are talking about words that start with "n" like: night, now, and nothing; then we all would have to give it to you- you would be right.
But if you are referring to the same N-word that Winifred and I assume you are referring to; then you are wrong.
I have just visited 4 online lyric sites that feature this song and guess what- NO N-WORD!!!!
I have just listened to this song twice, just to be sure.
And I still didn't hear it.
Remember now, this song came out in 1976- a song with the N-word would have gotten absolutely 0 air-time! The N-word was not tolerated back then as it is today- it's a shame, really!
But if you have an original source that proves us to be wrong- then by all means share your findings.
RIP all gone in music !
Real music !
Yeah you right !!!
You better excuse yourself away from here!!! 😂
Thank you ......xx
Thanks!! :p
Rip Maurice White
This is real old school baby, nothing but the best and still" groovin"...
Love this song
HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY GUITARIST/SONGWRITER ALBERT "AL" MCKAY
(FEBRUARY 2, 2018)
HAPPY 63RD BIRTHDAY FREDERICK ADAMS "FRED WHITE" (JANUARY 13, 2018)
Please focus on the bass in this song! Too funky!
Troy Elam verdine got that bass kicking he's the reason I started playing
Quentin Mckenzie That's what I'm talking about. It builds the song. Most people don't even realize the bass is what they're actually grooving to!
Funky as heck!
R.i.p. Maurice!A great song&group!💝💝💝
The first EWF single I ever purchased. On CBS label in the UK I seem to remember. Around 1976? Wonderful line about 'London Bridge'! I still play this track at parties some 40 years on!!!
Great Maurice we will always bring you into our hearts !!!!
still a great tune...
And also phillip bailey
A good year. A local philly dj turned me on to this beautifully crafted song with meaning that i didnt realise till i actually listened to it.
Disco!!! This is funky as hell.
LISTENED TO THIS ALBUM EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK, ESPECIALLY BEFORE SCHOOL! WAS SO GLAD WHEN CASSETTES CAME OUT!
This song always reminded me of Bridge Zone from Sonic The Hedgehog on Game Gear.
Remember this from when I was a young lady
My God what a classic. Verdiine White is a true artist on the bass.
And the horn's great play on music theory .This band enjoy's playing. One of my many favorites from E W F. Jam baby jam
RIP Maurice white great music sadly missed.
Once upon a time when we all longed for saturday nite,hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,now we just want good health!
I smell something!!!
Get ready for the noreaster northern new york,ugh!
Saturday nite baby!!RIP Maurice,brother you sure could jam!!!Miss ya!!
Disco? This is definitely not disco.
David Taylor-Garcia yeah it's funk
Not at all. They did no more than 3 tracks that were considered disco. They hated disco.
@Мариян Иванов I read Maurice White's book.
This is no where close to disco
don't hear much about this song, we use to do the robot to this, don't know why except that we really liked it, "Excuse Ureself Away From Here" I Smell Something Burning"
A great classic....
There's an unmistakable cameo appearance by young rapper, Barry Sotero towards the end.
Russell Clark obama?
EWF doing early rap.
I smell something, i smell something else!!!
After 40 years that smell still hasn't gone away!!!
Curtis DeWitt lol....you aint never lied on that"in my Memphis-10 voice. Much respect from Memphis-10 my friend.
Hahahahaha!
Well Imma get down with the rest of y'all!
Hahahahaha 😂😂
Saturday Night crossed over from the soul charts to the pop charts in 1976!
I remember that!
Police week! in the D.M.V.. Smile!.
Talk to me.
I love the Spirit album. The would be no Earth ,Wind and Fire w/o Maurice White.
my grandpa plays this song a lot
I will always love the" outro"!They sort poke fun at the stuffy people,and say be yourself."Well I might as well get down with the rest y'all" The 70's in s nutshell!
I remember when this song first came out in the 70,s I didn't know what they were singing about in this song, But to sum it all up: Its a story about going out on a Saturday night or the weekends and the things we do just to have fun.
RIP MAURICE WHITE, WE LOVE YOU FOREVER!
What a great classic this is......
I didn't realize how much way better earth wind n fire sound with his voice not Phillip its Maurice's slick silky pipes tht made the group his voice sound so good in songs like this he is truly tht bckbone of this luv his silky lyrics n play on words in 70s n 80 s he will be missed dearly
Awesome, lot's of memories
hey rap n hip hop has ruined blk music smh the rappers don't have real talent jay z lil Wayne drake Kanye wiz kaliifah jeezy Rick Ross meek bill they're frauds n imposters tht make millions while the great music artist frn the 60 s n 70s got screwed out of money it's not fair tht rappers make millions off tht bullshit music they spew it pitiful n not right smh
Mel Jones all those rappers u just named need to go sit down and learn real music
luv this song
see they made real good music here I wish for these sounds nowadays today's music sucks ass
Maurice White was so inspirational with his lyrics and his message of hope!! Certain songs he sang, he displayed his massive vocal range!! I.E. Burnin' Bush, Side by Side, and we never want to forget, The Way of the World!!
Think this is my favourite Earth Wind and Fire track. Sad its the death of Maurice White that's brought me back to it.
