This song is also referred to as Saturday Night In Toledo, Ohio. Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio, is like being nowhere at all All through the day how the hours rush by You sit in the park and you watch the grass die Ah, but after the sunset, the dusk and the twilight When shadows of night start to fall They roll back the sidewalks precisely at ten And people who live there are not seen again Just two lonely truckers from Great Falls, Montana And a salesman from places unknown - ces unknown Oh add all together in downtown Toledo To spend their big night all alone You ask how I know of Toledo, Ohio Well I spent a week there one day They've got entertainment to dazzle your eyes Go visit the bakery and watch the buns rise Ah, but let's not forget that the folks of Toledo Unselfishly gave us the scales No springs, honest weight, that's the promise they made So smile and be thankful next time you get weighed And wive and wet wive Let this be our motto Let's let the sleeping dogs lie - ping dogs lie And here's to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio Ladies, we bid you goodbye Words and music by Randy Sparkes
