Does anyone know who sang a song with lyrics that went like this? "Well it's Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I got some money cause I just got paid. Oh how I wish I had someone to talk, to I'm in an awful way!"

The legendary Sam Cooke wrote the song "Another Saturday Night" and was first to perform it. Cat Stevens and Jimmy Buffett also recorded it.
Here are the lyrics:
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

I got in town a month ago
I've seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
That's why I'm in the shape I'm in

Oh, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Now another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat name Frankenstein

Oh, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money cause I just got paid
How I wish I had some chick to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Yeah, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

It's hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend this money
I'm headin' back to Key West town

Oh, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Just another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money cause I just got paid
How I wish I had some chick to talk to
I'm in an awful way

cat stevens sang this in the 70s the song was called, another Saturday night.

Sounds like, Bill Hayley and The Commets- Rip It Up

Hello anonymous.

Here are videos of Sam Cooke (the original composer, I'm told), Cat Stevens, and Jimmy Buffett singing this.

In other words you get three Saturday nights for the price of one.
