C'mon Everybody
Let's Unwind Tonight: A Musical Gathering
Lyrics
Well c'mon everybody
Invitation to a gathering of people.
And let's get together tonight
Suggesting the event is happening tonight.
I got some money in my jeans
Expressing possession of money.
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Determined to spend money in an enjoyable way.
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
Indicating a week of hard work or preparation.
now the house is empty the folks are gone
Highlighting an empty house due to absence of parents.
C'mon everybody
Reiteration of the invitation to everybody.
Well my baby's number one
Praising the speaker's significant other.
But I'm gonna dance with three or four
Expressing the intention to dance with multiple partners.
And the house'll be shakin'
Anticipating a lively and energetic atmosphere.
From my bare feet slapping the floor
Describing the impact of dancing on the house.
When you hear that music you can't sit still
Emphasizing the irresistible nature of the music.
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
Suggesting that if one person doesn't enjoy it, someone else will.
C'mon everybody
Reiteration of the invitation.
Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
Planning for precautions to avoid being caught by parents.
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
Fear of parental disapproval or punishment.
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
Consequences of the party on regular activities.
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
Expectation of a temporary change in social routine.
Who cares C'mon everybody
Expressing a carefree attitude despite potential consequences.
