Well it's
[F open] Saturday night and I just got paid

Well it's
[F open] Saturday night and I'm feeling fine

I'm gonna
[Bb] rock it up, I'm gonna
[F] rip it up
I'm gonna
[Bb] 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:

A-
[F open]-long about ten I'll be flying high
[F open] Rock on out onto the sky
But

To-
