Lyrics
Well, it's Saturday night, and I just got paid
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 rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight
Got me a date, and I won't be late
Picked her up in my '88
Shagged on down by the Union Hall
When the joint 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, gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight
Along about ten, I'll be flying high
Walk on out unto the sky
But I don't care if I spend my dough
'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 rock it up, and ball tonight
Owww
Well, it's Saturday night, and I just got paid
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 rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight
Along about ten, I'll be flying high
Walk on out unto the sky
But I don't care if I spend my dough
'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 rock it up, and ball tonight
