Rip It Up
Saturday Night Joy: Gene Vincent's Anthem to Freedom and Fun
Lyrics
Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid,
Excitement about receiving payment on Saturday night.
Fool about my money, don't try to save,
Not concerned about saving money, willing to spend it freely.
My heart says go go, have a time,
Desire to have a good time, follow impulses.
Saturday night and I'm feelin' fine,
Feeling good and positive on a Saturday night.
I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up,
Expresses determination to have an exciting time by dancing energetically.
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up,
Planning to energize and enjoy oneself to the fullest.
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight.
Reiterating the intention to have an eventful night with dancing and celebration.
Got me a date and I won't be late,
Confirming a planned meeting and commitment to punctuality.
Picked her up in my 88,
Using an automobile ('88) to pick up the date.
Shag on down by the union hall,
Going to a venue (union hall) for an event or social gathering.
When the joint starts jumpin' I'll have a ball,
Anticipating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere at the venue.
I'm gonna rock it up,
Repeating the determination to have an energetic and lively time.
'Long about ten I'll be flying high,
Expectation of feeling elated or euphoric around ten o'clock.
Walk on out unto the sky,
Feeling so elated that it's compared to walking on air or feeling elevated.
But I don't care if I spend my dough,
Indifference toward spending money tonight because of the anticipated happiness.
Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul,
Confidence in experiencing immense joy and contentment tonight.
I'm gonna rock it up,
Reaffirmation of the determination to have a lively and enjoyable time through dancing.
