Frank Sinatra’s "Same Old Saturday Night" written for the 21st Century




 1955
Today

Went to see a movie show
Found myself an empty row
Thought the show was just “all right”
Same old Saturday night

Then I made the usual stop
Coffee at the coffee shop
Friendly face no where in sight
Same old Saturday night

I really thought
The papers I bought
Would help me forget you for a while
But believe me, honey
The funnies weren’t funny
They didn’t even make me smile

How I wish you’d lift the phone
Fun is fun but not alone
‘Til you’re here to hold me tight
Same old Saturday night

Went to see a 3D flick
Brad Pitt played a backwoods hick
Texters in my line of sight
Same old Saturday night

Then I made a Starbucks stop
Latte with whipped cream on top
Wi-fi and some megabytes
Same old Saturday night

I really thought
The iPhone I bought
Would help me forget you for a while
But believe me, honey
The news feed wasn’t funny
It didn’t even make me smile

How I wish you’d tweet me now
Fun is not this Farmville cow
‘Til you’re here to hold me tight
Same old Saturday night
