Saturday Night Fever (1977) - full transcript
Nineteen-year-old Brooklyn native Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at the local disco, where he's king of the club, thanks to his stylish moves on the dance floor. But outside of the club, things don't look so rosy. At home, Tony fights constantly with his father and has to compete with his family's starry-eyed view of his older brother, a priest. Nor can he find satisfaction at his dead-end job at a small paint store. However, things begin to change when he spies Stephanie Mangano in the disco and starts training with her for the club's dance competition. Stephanie dreams of the world beyond Brooklyn, and her plans to move to Manhattan just over the bridge soon change Tony's life forever.

I like your new haircuts.
I like that polyester look
Turn yourself there, baby
The heat was on
Rising to the top
I heard somebody say
I'm surviving every lonely day

To understand
The New York Times' effect on man
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment
That you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me
On a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment
That you wander far from me

We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light
In my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
