It's Saturday night in Halifax The kids are out there dancing It's the same old beat, it's all over the world And in her eyes I coulda swore I saw the northern lights But it was a light flashing from the disco silver ball I come ten thousand miles to be here I can't say that I'm not glad I won't say that it's the best old time that I have ever had And sure, I'd love to dance, my girl But hey, not to that song For I hated it in Sydney and despised it in Geelong It's Saturday night in Halifax The kids are out there dancing It's the same old beat, it's all over the world And in her eyes I coulda swore I saw the northern lights But it was a light flashing from the disco silver ball You saw me queuing for admission Saw me looking at my watch Saw me freezing in my jacket, fearful of the cold I'd catch But I love the Bluenose girlies And I love the Bluenose beer But when I dance to Whitney Houston I wonder what I'm doing here It's Saturday night in Halifax The kids are out there dancing It's the same old beat, it's all over the world And in her eyes I coulda swore I saw the northern lights But it was a light flashing from the disco silver ball Now do you like the clothes I'm wearing? Or perhaps, I should have changed? Do you understand my talking? Do you think that I talk strange? But if you can't understand me, darlin' That ain't such a shame For the sh** we talk at discos the world over sounds the same It's Saturday night in Halifax The kids are out there dancing It's the same old beat, it's all over the world And in her eyes I coulda swore I saw the northern lights But it was a light flashing from the disco silver ball It seems now the night is over It seems I've lost my mystique She got a bloke from Montreal I got a kiss upon the cheek With a belly full of bitter It's a walk home in the rain There might be one more drunk in Halifax Well, some things never change It's Saturday night in Halifax The kids are out there dancing It's the same old beat, it's all over the world And in her eyes I coulda swore I saw the northern lights But it was a light flashing from the disco silver ball That dirty old silver ball, it gets me every time
