Saturday night and I'm all alone
Don't have a date, I'm just sittin' home
The radio's playin' the tap tunes tonight
Play me a sad song
Please mister deejay
Play me a sad song tonight
Don't you think I wanna go where other kids go
Don't you know I wanna do what other kids do
I've got nobody to hold me tight
Play me a sad song
Please mister deejay
Play me a sad song tonight
Don't wanna hear a lullaby
I can't sleep, I just sit and cry
Play me a sad song, a song of love
'Cause that's all that I'm thinking of
Sittin' here cryin' won't get me the girl
I bet I'm the loneliest boy in the world
Oh what's the use, guess I'll turn off the light
Play me a sad song
Please mister deejay
Play me a sad song
I feel so lonely
Please mister deejay
Play me a sad song
