Lyrics

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, baby, I'm feelin' fine

Gonna rip it up
Gonna rock it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball the night

Got me a date and I won't be late
Picked her up in my eighty-eight
Shag on down to the union hall
When the joint starts jumpin', I 'll have a ball

Gonna rip it up
Gonna rock it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball the night

Whoa!

Well, ready, set, go man, go
I got a girl that I love so

And I'm ready
Ready, ready, teddy
I'm ready
Ready, ready, teddy
I'm ready
Ready, ready, teddy
I'm ready, ready, teddy to rock and roll

Goin' to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's a rock and roll baby, she's the apple of my eye
I'm ready
Ready, ready, teddy
I'm ready
Ready, ready, teddy
I'm ready
Ready, ready, teddy
I'm ready, ready, teddy to rock and roll
