Let's get together

Lyrics
Well c'mon everybody and let's get together tonight
Invitation to a gathering or party, encouraging everyone to come together tonight.
I got some money in my jeans
Expressing possession of money in the speaker's jeans, indicating readiness to spend it.
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Commitment to spending the money in a fun and enjoyable manner.
Well, I been doin' my homework all week long
Highlighting the dedication to academic work throughout the week.
Now the house is empty and my folks are gone
Describing an empty house due to the absence of the speaker's parents.
Ooh, c'mon everybody (Let's get together)
Reiterating the invitation and the excitement to get together (repeated throughout).
Well my baby's number one
Acknowledging the speaker's significant other as the primary, but expressing a desire to dance with others.
But I'm gonna dance with three or four
Anticipation of dancing with multiple partners.
And the house will be a-shakin'
Expectation that the house will be lively with people dancing, causing the floor to shake.
From the bare feet a-slappin' on the floor
Imagery of the energy and enthusiasm of people dancing barefoot.
Hell when you hear the music you just can't sit still
Expressing the irresistible nature of the music, causing people to move.
If your brother won't rock, then your sister will
Suggesting that even if one family member doesn't enjoy the music, another will.
Ooh, c'mon everybody (Let's get together)
Reiteration of the invitation and the excitement to get together (repeated throughout).
Hell we'll really have a party
Emphasizing the prospect of a lively and enjoyable party.
But we gotta put a guard outside
Acknowledging the need for caution, possibly due to the speaker's parents returning unexpectedly.
If the folks come home, I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
Expressing fear of potential consequences if the parents discover the party.
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
Conveying that the repercussions may include restrictions such as no movies for a week or two.
No more running 'round with the usual crew
Indicating a temporary break from the usual social activities and friends.
Who cares?
Nonchalant attitude, suggesting a lack of concern about the consequences.
C'mon everybody ... c'mon everybody
Final encouragement to everyone to come together and enjoy the gathering.
