LYRICS

Well,  it's Saturday night and I just got paid

I'm fool about my money, don't try to save

My heart says 'go, go, have a time'

'Cause it's Saturday night, baby

And I'm feelin' fine

I'm gonna rock it up

I'm gonna rip it up

I'm gonna shake it up

Gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rip it out

And ball tonight

Well, I got a date and I won't be late

I picked her up in my 88

Shag it on down to the social hall

When the music starts jumpin'

I'll have a ball

I'm gonna rock it up

I'm gonna rip it up

I'm gonna shake it up

I'm gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rip it out

And ball tonight

Along about 10 I'll be flying high

Rocking on out into the sky

'Cause I don't care if I spend my doe

'Cause tonight

I'm gonna be one happy soul

I'm gonna rock it up

I'm gonna rip it up

I'm gonna shake it up

Gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rip it out

And ball tonight

Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid

I'm fool about my money, don't try to save

My heart says 'go, go, have a time'

'Cause it's Saturday night

And I'm feelin' fine

I'm gonna rock it up

I'm gonna shake it up

I'm gonna rip it up

I'm gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rip it out

And ball tonight
