#1.
F
Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid,
fool about my money, don't try to save.
My heart says go, go, have a time, cause it's
Saturday night and I feel fine.
CHORUS:
Bb7 F
I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up,
Bb7 F
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up,
C7 Bb7 F
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight.
#2.
F
Got me a date and I won't be late,
picked her up in my 88.
Shagged on down by the union hall,
when the joint starts jumpin' I'll have a ball.
CHORUS:
Bb7 F
I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up,
Bb7 F
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up,
C7 Bb7 F
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight.
#3.
F
Long about ten I'll be flying high,
walk on out into the sky.
But I don't care if I spend my dough,
cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul.
CHORUS:
Bb7 F
I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up,
Bb7 F
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up,
C7 Bb7 F
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight.
