Lyrics :


Well it's Saturday night and I just got paid
Fool about my money, don't try to save
Cats all jumpin' gonna have a time
Saturday night'n' honey, I'm feelin' fine

Gonna rock it up, gonna ball it up
Gonna rip it up, gonna shake it up
I goes to ball it up and rock to night

Well I got me a date and I won't be late
I picks her up in my eighty-eight
I shags on down to the social hall
Cats all jumpin', man we're gonna have a ball

Gonna rock it up, gonna ball it up
Gonna rip it up, gonna shake it up
I goes to ball it up and rock to night

Guitar and piano breaks

....Repeat the second and the first bridge...
