Wonderful Tonight Lyrics – Saturday Night Live
“Wonderful Tonight” by *Saturday Night Live* is a wild and ridiculous parody of the classic love song. It starts off normal, with a sweet moment of getting ready for the evening, but quickly turns absurd. The night spirals into chaos—getting wasted in Times Square, eating a Big Mac, bizarre body hair shaving, nipple biting, and even causing mayhem at a kid’s birthday party while high on PCP. It’s a hilarious, over-the-top twist on romance.
Lyrics of Wonderful Tonight by Saturday Night Live
[Verse 1: Bowen Yang, Lady Gaga]
It’s late in the evening
She’s wondering what clothes to wear
So I put on my make-up
And I brush my long blonde hair
[Chorus: Bowen, Bowen & Gaga]
And then she asks me
“Do I look alright?”
And I say “Yes”
“You look wonderful tonight”
[Verse 2: Bowen, Gaga]
It’s later that evening
And we’re wasted in Times Square
So I eat a full Big Mac
And I shave off my body hair
[Chorus: Bowen, Bowen & Gaga]
And then she bites me
And both my nipples left and right
And I said “B!tch”
“You look wonderful tonight”
[Bridge: Bowen & Gaga]
I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes
And the beauty of it all is that you just don’t realize
Italians aren’t white
[Verse 3: Bowen, Gaga]
We go to a party
And everyone screams at me
‘Cause it’s a five year old’s party
And I’m smoking PCP
[Chorus: Bowen & Gaga, Bowen]
I eat the whole birthday cake
While all the children cry
I shout “Goddamn”
“I feel wonderful tonight”
Meaning of Wonderful Tonight Lyrics
Verse 1 Meaning:
The song starts off seeming normal, with a woman deciding what to wear for the evening. But then, the perspective shifts unexpectedly—it’s actually the singer putting on makeup and brushing long blonde hair, hinting at something playful or absurd.
Chorus Meaning:
She asks if she looks good, and the singer responds positively. This part keeps the traditional romantic tone, but knowing the song’s humor, it might be setting up for something ridiculous later.
Verse 2 Meaning:
Things take a chaotic turn. The night progresses, and now they’re drunk in Times Square. The singer eats a whole Big Mac and randomly decides to shave off body hair, adding to the absurdity.
Chorus Meaning:
This time, instead of a sweet moment, it turns weird. She bites him on both nipples, and instead of a loving response, he yells an insult—but still says she looks wonderful, keeping up the parody.
Bridge Meaning:
The singer feels great because of the affection in her eyes, but then a completely random and controversial line about Italians appears, making the song even more absurd and unpredictable.
Verse 3 Meaning:
The chaos escalates—they crash a kid’s birthday party, and the singer is openly using drügs. Everyone is horrified, making it clear this night has gone completely off the rails.
Chorus Meaning:
The ridiculousness peaks as the singer eats an entire birthday cake while kids cry, but instead of feeling guilty, he shouts how wonderful he feels, completely ignoring the disaster he’s caused.
