Saturday night and I feel fine,

I'm gonna rip it up, I'm gonna rock it up,

I'm gonna rip it up, and ball tonight.
#2.
G
Got me a date and I won't be late,
Picked her up in my 88,
C9
Shag on down by the union hall,
Eb9 D7 G
When the joint starts jumpin' I'll have a ball,
CHORUS:
#3.
G
Long about ten I'll be flying high,
Walk on out into the sky,
C9
But I don't care if I spend my dough,
Eb9 D7 G
Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul,
CHORUS:
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
