As recorded by HORACE HEIDT with
Donna & Her Don Juans and Charles Goodman, 23rd July 1942:

CHARLES:
I met her on Monday, the meeting was grand
DONNA:
The next day was Tuesday, and he held my hand
CHARLES:
Wednesday night I met her dad and mother
And gave a nickle to her freckle-faced brother

CHARLES:
Kissed her on Thursday at quarter to ten
DONNA:
He met me on Friday and kissed me again
BOTH:
What'd'ya think happened on Saturday night?
Uh-huh, that's right, we met the preacher
Uh-huh, that's right
 
DONNA & HER DON JUANS:
He met her on Monday, the meeting was grand
The next day was Tuesday and he held her hand
Wednesday night he met her dad and her mother
He gave a nickle to her freckle-faced brother
Kissed her on Thursday, quarter to ten
Met her on Friday, kissed her again
What'd'ya think was the thing that happened Saturday night?
Oh-no, you're wrong, the boy was drafted
That's right, you're wrong

(Instrumental Break)
 
CHARLES:
Kissed her on Thursday, gee it was swell
DONNA:
Met me on Friday, A.W.O.L.
ALL:
What'd'ya think happened on Saturday night?
That's right, the boy is in the guardhouse
On Saturday night
