Carole King (born 9 February 1942) is a jewish-american singer-songwriter. She was most active as a singer during the first half of the 1970s, but she was a successful songwriter for considerably longer both before and after this period. Born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Carole Klein (as she was then known) started out playing the piano and then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines in high school. While attending Queens College, King befriended Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually marrying, working in the famous Brill Building, where chart-topping hits were churned out during the 1960s.

Main Street Saturday Night Lyrics

Carole King

MAIN STREET, SATURDAY NIGHT
by Carole King

See them drivin' by
Look at them fancy wheels
Headlights winkin'
checkin' each other out
the Great American Pastime
is still the automobile
Cruisin' on the white line
Is the only way to make time

Down on Main Street, Saturday night
Eevrybody thinks they're so cool
On Main Street Saturday night
Don't you mess with him (her), Daddy,
he's (she's) nobody's fool

Look at the blonde beauties,
givin' all they got
Maybe if you hit on one,
you might luck out
Soem of them are foxy
some of them are not
But all of them will get down
If the right thing comes around

Here comes Little Willie
higher than a kite
He's been doin' some
heavy duty hangin' out
If Willie's got a line on
some of the best
It's got to be dynamite
You know you can trust him
If the Law don't bust him
