VERSE 1:
Well it's
[F# open] Saturday night and I just got paid
I'm a
[F# open] fool about my money, don't try to save
My
[F# open] heart says "go go, have a time"
Well it's
[F# open] Saturday night and I'm feeling fine
CHORUS:
I'm gonna
[B] rock it up, I'm gonna
[F#] rip it up
I'm gonna
[B] shake it up, gonna
[F#] ball it up
I'm gonna
[C#] rock it up
[C# open], and ball tonight
[F#]
VERSE 2:
[F# open] Got me a date and I won't be late
I
[F# open] picked her up in my eighty-eight
[F# open] Shout on down my the union hall
When the
[F# open] joint starts jumping I have a ball
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
A-
[F# open]-long about ten I'll be flying high
[F# open] Rock on out onto the sky
But
[F# open] I don't care if I spend my dough
To-
[F# open]-night I'm gonna be one happy soul
