Joe Bob was rough as a cob
And prone to blow his stack
Kenny Dean was in a suicide scene
Sneaking behind Joe's back
Sneaking around with Joe's girl, June
She liked the boys in the band
And when they all got together on Saturday night
It was easy to understand, why
They called it Saturday night at
The Paradise Knife and Gun Club.
And there's drinking and dancing
To the music of Bobby Lee and the Blackjacks
It was Saturday night at
The Paradise Knife and Gun Club
If you was looking for some trouble
You could find it, I guarantee.
Now the owner of the place was a man named Jack
And he wouldn't take talking back
He was married to a woman named May
She took up the slack
Well, he knocked you out and she'd drag you out
And leave you in the parking lot
And when you wake up in the morning with a busted head
You're just happy that was all you got.
On Saturday night at
The Paradise Knife and Gun Club.
And there's drinking and dancing
To the music of Bobby Lee and the Blackjacks
It was aturday night at
The Paradise Knife and Gun Club
If you was looking for some trouble
You could find it, I guarantee.

Well, the night Joe Bob found out
That Kenny Dean was sneaking around with June
He caught Bobby Lee and the band
In the middle of an old Hank Williams tune
Bobby Lee cried out your cheatin' heart
And that was just the spark it took
And when the fighting got started
Everybody took part and
That whole damn building shook.
Until the sheriff came out and stopped the bout
Hauled everybody to jail
When the judge saw the blood and the chewed up ears
He turned a whiter shade of pale
He said, good God ya'll
What's happened here, somebody start a world war three
Well, Kenny Dean just grinned the best he could
Said, Your honor, it seems to me,
Like it was just another Saturday night
At the Paradise Knife and Gun Club.
And there's drinking and dancing
To the music of Bobby Lee and the Blackjacks
It was saturday night at
The Paradise Knife and Gun Club
If you was looking for some trouble
You could find it, I guarantee.
