Lyrics
The weekend comes to this town
The weekend arrives in this town
Seven days too soon
It's arriving seven days too early for those who must reconcile
For the ones who have to make up
Refers to individuals dealing with the aftermath of breaking rules
What we break up of their rules
People trying to mend what they disrupted due to rule-breaking
Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
Captain Kidd observed on Sunset, giving commands
Tell his boys they're in command
Chino engages in a tango with a broomstick
While Chino danced a tango
It's alright to have a good time
With a broomstick in his hand
Expresses a carefree attitude despite unconventional actions
He said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
Encourages enjoyment without worries
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
It's acceptable to cross boundaries and explore new experiences
To break on through to the other side
Referencing breaking through barriers to reach a different realm
Let it rock, let it go
Encourages letting things unfold naturally
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Expresses the unstoppable nature of a fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
Encourages releasing control and going with the flow
With the night you're on the loose
When night falls, embrace freedom and be unrestrained
You got to let it rock
Reiterates the need to let go and enjoy the moment
We go down to the Broadway
A reference to the popular Broadway area
Where everybody goes
Where everyone congregates for entertainment
To get on their rockin' horse
People getting on their metaphorical "rockin' horse" to enjoy music
And blast that radio
Turning up the radio to maximum volume for a thrilling experience
Well I saw Roxie on the table
Roxie observed on a table
Her girlfriend down below
Her friend below, possibly referring to a party or celebration
They'll give it to the king of swing
They'll give it to the "king of swing" before leaving
Before it's time to go
Implying a lively and vibrant atmosphere
They said, It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
Reiterates the acceptance of having a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
Encourages crossing boundaries for a richer experience
To break on through to the other side
Similar to line 12, advocating breaking through barriers
Let it rock, let it go
Reiteration of letting things unfold naturally
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Highlighting the uncontrollable nature of passion or desire
Let it rock, let it go
Encourages embracing the night and being unrestrained
With the night you're on the loose
Reiterates the need to let go and enjoy the moment
You got to let it rock
Emphasizes the importance of letting things unfold naturally
