Saturday night and I just got paid I'm a fool about my
money, don't try to save. My heart says "go go, have a time" Saturday
night and I'm feelin' fine.
I'm gonna rock it up, *whoo* Rip it
up I'm gonna shake it up Gonna ball it up I'm gonna rock it And
ball tonight.
Well almost 'bout ten I'll be flying high I'll rock on
out unto the sky I don't care if I spend my dough Tonight I'm gonna be
one happy soul
I'm gonna rock it up, *whoo* Rip it up I'm gonna
shake it up Gonna ball it up I'm gonna rock it And ball tonight,
("aww"-scream)
