Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid

Fool about my money, don't try to save

My heart say, "Go go, have a time"

'Cause Saturday night and I'm feelin' fine

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Got me a date and I won't be late

Picked her up in my '88

Shag on down by the union hall

When the joint starts jumping, I have a ball

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Along about ten I'll be flying high

Rock on out unto the sky

But I don't care if I spend my dough

'Cause tonight, I'm gonna be one happy soul

[Chorus]

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, ow

[Verse 4]

Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid

Fool about my money, don't try to save

My heart say, "Go go, have a time"

'Cause Saturday night and I'm feelin' fine

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 5]

Along about ten, I'll be flying high

Rock on out unto the sky

But I don't care if I spend my dough

'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul

[Chorus]

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
