Where Did Robinson Crusoe Go
With Friday on Saturday Night
Words by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young and Music by George W. Meyer
Verse 1: Thousands of years ago or maybe more,
Out on an island on a lonely shore,
Robinson Crusoe landed one fine day,
No rent to pay, And no wife to obey;
His good man Friday was his only friend,
He didn't borrow or lend;
They built a little hut, Lived there till Friday, But
Saturday night it was shut.
Chorus 1:* Where did Robinson Crusoe go, with Friday on Saturday night?
Ev'ry Saturday night they would start in to roam,
And on Sunday morning they'd come staggering home.
They went hunting for rabbit when the weather grew colder,
But Crusoe came home with a hare on his shoulder.
So where did Robinson Crusoe go, with Friday on Saturday night?
Chorus 2:* Where did Robinson Crusoe go, with Friday on Saturday night?
One fine Saturday night they had nothing to do,
So they started counting all the girlies they knew.
Friday counted to thirteen, and Crusoe said "Brother,
You know thirteen's unlucky, lets go get another.
So where did Robinson Crusoe go, with Friday on Saturday night?
Verse 2: Robinson Crusoe was a good old scout,
Robinson Crusoe knew his way about,
He'd go out hunting chickens now and then,
But he knew when he was chasing a hen;
Once he told Friday "you must stay at home,
I've got to go out alone;"
Friday felt very blue, He said "It's wrong of you,
Couldn't you fix it for two?"
Chorus 3: Where did Robinson Crusoe go, with Friday on Saturday night?
Ev'ry Saturday night they would start in to roam,
And on Sunday morning they'd come staggering home.
On this island lived wild men in cannibal trimmin';
And where there are wild men there must be wild women,
So where did Robinson Crusoe go, with Friday on Saturday night?
* There are some lyric alterations here not from the original score that are included in Al Jolson's recording released in 1916.
