#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.
