Sudbury Saturday Night
Kim Mitchell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh the girls are out to bingo and the boys are gettin stinko
We think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night.
The glasses they will tinkle while our eyes begin to twinkle
And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

With Irish Jim O'Connell there & Scotty Jack McDonald
There's hunky Frederic Herzal gettin tight but dats alright
There's happy German trixie there with Frenchie gettin tipsy-
And even Joe the gypsy knows its Saturday tonite-

Ya well Marianne and Mabel come to join us at the table,
And tell us how the bingo went tonite-We'll lookout right-
That if they won the money we'll be laughin up the honey boys
Cause everthing is funny for its Saturday tonite..

Oh the girls are out to bingo And the boys are gettin stinko
We think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night
The glasses they will tinkle while our eyes begin to twinkle
And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

Solo-

Oh We'll drink the loot we borrowed and recuperate tomorrow-
Cause everything is wonderful tonite-we had a good fight-
We ate the deli pickle and we forgot about the nickel
And everybody's tickled for its Saturday tonite...

The songs that we'll be singin might be wrong but they'll be ringin
And now the lights of town are shinin bright-and we're all
right-We'll get to work on Monday-but tomorrow's only Sunday
And we're out to have a fun day for its Saturday tonite

Oh the girls are out to bingo And the boys are gettin stinko
We think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night
The glasses they will tinkle while our eyes begin to twinkle
And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

Oh the girls are out to bingo And the boys are gettin stinko
We think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night
The glasses they will tinkle while our eyes begin to twinkle
And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night





And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

Overall Meaning

Kim Mitchell's song Sudbury Saturday Night is a catchy tune that captures the essence of a fun-filled night out with friends. The lyrics speak of a group of friends, both men, and women, who are out enjoying themselves on a Saturday night in Sudbury, a city situated in northern Ontario, Canada. The opening lines, "Oh the girls are out to bingo and the boys are getting stinko," give listeners a vivid picture of what's happening. The girls are off using their luck to win some money by playing bingo, whereas the boys are drinking and having a great time without any worries.


The song's chorus, "We think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night," hints at the town's economic dependence on Inco Limited, a famous nickel and metal producer. This line also implies that on a Saturday night, the company becomes the furthest thought from people's minds. They let their hair down and have a good time, forgetting all their troubles for a little while. The song's upbeat melodies and catchy chorus make you want to tap your feet and sing along with the characters, feeling like one of them.
