Friday or Saturday, what does that mean?
Short space of time needs a heavy scene
Monday is comin' like a jail on wheels

Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills, forty-eight thrills

So tell me, an' I'll take the tube
You know a girl, yeah well she's bound to be rude
Can't get nothing at the places I've been

Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills, thrills
The thrills

I've combed this town from top to bottom
Try to get around but my legs are broken
Every time, I miss it, 'cos I ain't got a ticket

Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills, the forty-eight thrills
Cheap thrills
And he got thrills

Kicking for kicks
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills
