Rip It Up
Little Richard and His Band Lyrics

Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid
I'm excited about it being a weekend, and I received my paycheck today

Fool about my money, don't try to save
I'm not going to be responsible with my money; I just want to have fun

My heart says go go, have a time
I have a strong desire to go out and enjoy myself

'Cause it's Saturday night and I'm feelin' fine
The combination of it being the weekend and having money has put me in a good mood

I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
I'm going to dance crazily and energetically

I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
I'm going to party hard and have a great time

I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight
I'm going to dance and party vigorously tonight

Got me a date and I won't be late
I have a romantic partner, and I will make sure that I arrive on time for our date

Picked her up in my '88
I drove to pick up my date in my 1988 car

Shag on down by the union hall
I'm going to go dancing at the local venue, Union Hall

When the joint starts jumpin' I'll have a ball
I will have a great time at the venue when the party and dancing becomes lively

'Long about ten I'll be flying high
Around 10 pm, I will be extremely happy and excited

Walk on out unto the sky
I will feel free and overjoyed

But I don't care if I spend my dough
I am not worried about spending my money, even if it's a lot

'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul
I know that tonight will bring me immense happiness and joy
