Vince Taylor The Playboys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
now the house is empty the folks are gone
C'mon everybody
Well my baby's number one
And the house'll be shakin'
From my bare feet slapping the floor
When you hear that music you can't sit still
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
C'mon everybody
Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
Who cares C'mon everybody
The lyrics in Vince Taylor & The Playboys' song "C'mon Everybody" express a desire for a wild and exciting party with multiple partners. The singer is willing to spend his money to have a good time and is eager to dance and let loose. The absence of his parents and a vacant house also sets the scene for an uninhibited gathering. The singer is not content with just dancing with one partner but wants to dance with three or four individuals. The line "If your brother won't rock then your sister will" suggests that the music has a universal appeal, and everyone will enjoy it regardless of their gender.
The song reflects the youthful energy and rebellious spirit of rock and roll culture in the 1950s and 1960s. The lyrics convey a sense of liberation and a rejection of societal norms and limitations. The singer is willing to take risks and defy authority to have a good time. The line "Well, we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside" hints that the party may be illegal, and the singer is taking a chance by having it.

Well c'mon everybody
Let's all come together and have a good time
And let's get together tonight
We need to hang out and have some fun tonight
I got some money in my jeans
I have some extra cash to burn
And I'm really gonna spend it right
I plan on spending it wisely to have a great time
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
I've been studying hard all week
now the house is empty the folks are gone
Now the parents are out of town and the house is empty
C'mon everybody
Let's all have some fun together
Well my baby's number one
My significant other is my top priority
But I'm gonna dance with three or four
I plan on having fun dancing with multiple partners
And the house'll be shakin'
The music will be so good that the house will tremble
From my bare feet slapping the floor
My dancing will be so intense that it makes noise
When you hear that music you can't sit still
The music will be so lively that you can't resist dancing
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
Even if your brother isn't interested, your sister will join in the dancing
C'mon everybody
Let's all dance together
Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
We need to have someone watch for the parents to make sure they don't catch us having a party
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
I am worried about getting in trouble with my parents if they catch me having a party
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
If we get caught, we will be grounded and punished with no entertainment
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
If we get caught, we won't be able to hang out with our friends for a while
Who cares C'mon everybody
Regardless of the consequences, let's all have a good time together

I'll never understand why he isn't regularly listed in the first division of 60's British rockers along with the Stones, Beatles, Animals etc.

Johnny Kidd & the Pirates kick his Pat Boone keister
b bb
too contrived, too much Pat Boone for my tastes, his stage moves are annoying
ROB MAC
Agree 💯 % , he's rarely mentioned in the UK Pre Beatle - Rock history and he deserves recognition, definitely.
Charles Watson
I didn't know there was someone this good I had never heard of.

None.
He’s sweating like a nonce in a nursery.
