Lyrics

MAKE'N BABIES ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
by Robert M. Lyden and Kieran S. Lyden © 2021

Introduction
This song is about how back in the old days
when a man spent most of his life work’n hard on the farm
sometimes to make it not seem so bad
they’d put the bed out in the field at night…
and make everything feel alright

Rise and shine
In the early morn’
Working chores
Day after day
Can’t be lazy
Drive a man crazy
Drive a man crazy
Drive a man crazy
Oh yeah

Feed’n, planting, mending things
On the farm the work never ends
Sun’s going down and fading away
My arms are weary
Had enough for today

Verse 1
One more thing to do tonight
To make it all worthwhile and everything bright
Honey you told me the time is right
Our bed’s in the field, it’s a pretty sight
Nobody’s around to take fright
And you look
Beautiful tonight

Refrain 1
Oh let’s go
Make babies on a Saturday night
Come on honey, and hold me tight
You’re beautiful in the moonlight
Honey, you told me the time is right
Let’s make
Babies tonight

Verse 2
Walking in our field of corn
Getting naked for one to be born
I want to hold you in my arms
Honey, you feel soft and warm
Stay with me until the morning light
Come with me honey, and hold on tight

Refrain 2
Making babies on a Saturday night
Making babies on a Saturday night
Come on honey, and hold me tight
You’re beautiful, in the moonlight
Honey, you told me the time is right
We’re making babies
On a Saturday night

Verse 3
Sunrise on a Sunday morn’
Laying naked in a field of corn
Oh dang,
Your daddy’s truck is coming up the road
Come on quick
We’d better run inside and get our clothes
Can’t have ‘em gett’n all uptight
You’re still smiling with sheer delight

Refrain 3
Yes we were
Making babies on a Saturday night
Yes we were
Making babies on a Saturday night
Come on honey, let’s run inside
You’re beautiful, in the morning light
Honey, you told me the time was right
For making babies
On a Saturday night

Verse 4
Honey, I’m old and broken now
Won’t last until the morn
I’m making way
For another to be born
So lay me out
On our bed in the field of corn
Hold my hand until the end
You were always, my best friend

Refrain 4
I’ll never forget
Making babies on Saturday night
Come on honey, hold me tight
You’re beautiful, in the moonlight
Honey, the time is right
For you, eternal light
Yes we did, make our babies on Saturday night
Yes we did, make our babies on Saturday night

Resolution
Ooo, eternal light
Ooo, e-ter-nal li-ght
