            F
Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid
Fool without my money, don't try to save
My heart says Go! Go! Have a time
'Cause it's Saturday night and I feel fine

Chorus:
           A#                F
I'm gonna rock it up, gonna rip it up
       A#                 F
Gonna shake it up, gonna bomb it up
       C                     F
Gonna rock it up and ball tonight

I've got me a date and I won't be late
Pick her up in my 88
Trek on down to the social hall
When the joint starts jumpin', gonna have me a ball

Chorus

Along about 10 I'm flyin' high
I walk on out into the sky
But I don't care if I spend my dough
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul

Chorus
