Well it's Saturday nite and I just got paid

A Fool about my money don't try to save
My heart says go, go,
Have a time 'cause it's Saturday nite, babe
And I'm feelin' fine

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 up
And ball tonite

Well, I got a date and I won't be late
I Picked her up in my '88'
A Shag on down by the social hall
When the joint starts jumpin'
I'll have a ball

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 up
And ball tonite

Along about 10 I'll be flying high
A walk on out in the open sky
but I don't care if I spend my dough
'Cause tonite 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
I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And ball tonite

Well it's Saturday nite and I just got paid
A Fool about my money don't try to save
My heart says go, go,
Have a time 'cause it's Saturday nite, babe
And I'm feelin' fine

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 up
And ball tonite (less info)
