Standard tuning. 
                 
                A        (Tacet) 
    'Cause it's Saturday nite and I just got paid 
    A    (Tacet) 
    Fool about my money don't try to save 
       A     (Tacet) 
    My heart says go, go 
                            A        (Tacet) 
    Have a time 'cause it's Saturday nite 
    And I'm feelin' fine 
              D9 
    I'm gonna rip it up 
              A 
    I'm gonna rock it up 
              D9 
    I'm gonna shake it up 
              A 
    I'm gonna ball it up 
              E9           D9    (Tacet) 
    I'm gonna rip it up 
               A 
    And ball tonite 
    I got a date and I won't be late 
    Pick her up in my '88' 
    Shag it on down to the union hall 
    When the music starts jumpin' 
    I'll have a ball 
    Along about 10 I'll be flying high 
    Rocking on out into the sky 
    I don't care if I spend my gold 
    'Cause tonite I'm gonna be one happy soul
