[Verse]
G
It's getting late have you seen my mates
F
Ma tell me when the boys get here
C
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
G
Want to get a belly full of beer
G
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
F
And my old lady she don't care
C
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
G
A handful of grease in her hair
Dm7 ?Gliss…
Ohhhhhhh

[Chorus]
C
Don't give us none of your aggravation
Bb
We had it with your discipline
F
Saturday night's alright for fighting

Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Bb
Gonna set this dance alight

G
Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
F
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
C
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
G
I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"
G
A couple of the sounds that I really like
F
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
C
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
G
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
Dm7 ?Gliss…
Ohhhhhhh

[Chorus]
C
Don't give us none of your aggravation

We had it with your discipline
