Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is there anybody out there looking for a party
Shake your money maker, baby, smoke it if you got it
We just wanna have some fun, if you don't wanna, kiss this
Everybody raise your hands, come on, I need a witness

We got it goin' on
We'll be banging and singing just like the Rolling Stones
We're gonna shake up your souls, we come to rattle your bones
'Cause we got it goin' on
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Hey yeah
Uh huh

You got a ticket to kick it, I wanna hear you scream now
(You got a ticket to kick it, I wanna hear you scream now)
'Cause tonight you got the right to let your hair down
('Cause tonight you got the right to let your hair down)
Everybody's getting down, we're getting down to business
Insane freak train, you don't wanna miss this

We got it goin' on
We'll be banging and singing just like the Rolling Stones
We're gonna shake up your souls, we come to rattle your bones
'Cause we got it goin' on
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Hey yeah
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Hey yeah
Uh huh huh

And now, a public service announcement from my country cousin
Big Kenny, talk to the people

Brothers and sisters,
We're here to come together as one
And love everybody
Can I get a Amen
(Amen)

We got it goin' on (We got it goin' on)
We got it goin' on (We got it goin' on)
We got it goin' on (We got it goin' on)
We'll be banging and singing just like the Rolling Stones
We're gonna shake up your souls, we come to rattle your bones
We got it goin' on
Gettin' down with Big & Rich and Richie and Jon
Just banging and singing, why don't you all come along
'Cause we got it goin' on
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Hey yeah
Uh huh
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Hey yeah
Uh huh





We got it, we got it, we got it goin' on
We got it, we got it, we got it goin' on
