- Lyrics from the 1973 original London stage production:
Eddie:
Whatever happened to Saturday night
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright?
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life and I thought I was divine
Go for a ride with a chick who'd go
And listen to the music on the radio
A saxophone was blowin' on a rock & roll show
You climbed in the back and you really had a good time
Hot patootie, bless my soul
Really love that rock 'n' roll
Eddie and company:
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Eddie:
My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled
My hands kind of fumbled with her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt
Whisper in my ear, that night she really was mine
Get back in front, put some hair oil on
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song
With your arms around your girl you'd try to sing along
It felt pretty good, and you really had a good time
Eddie and company:
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
- Lyrics from the 1974 Los Angeles, USA stage production:

Whatever happened to Saturday night

It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life and I thought I was divine
I just to go for a ride with a chick who'd go

Buddy Holly was singing his very last song
With your arms around your girl you'd try to sing along
You felt pretty good, and you really had a good time
