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)

I'm gonna rock it up, *whoo*

Rip it up

Gonna shake it up

Gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rock it

And ball tonight.

Gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rock it

And ball tonight.



Well, it's 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



FADE

I'm gonna rock it up

I'm gonna rip it up



*whoo* = Little Richard's trademark scream which is almost impossible to spell
