Lyrics
Well c'mon everybody
Encouraging everyone to join in and participate
And let's get together tonight
Suggesting a gathering for the night
I got some money in my jeans
Expressing possession of money in pockets
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Intending to spend the money in an enjoyable manner
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
Having focused on schoolwork throughout the week
now the house is empty the folks are gone
Describing an empty house as parents are away
C'mon everybody
Repeating 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 an intention to dance with multiple partners
And the house'll be shakin'
Anticipating energetic dancing causing the house to shake
From my bare feet slapping the floor
Describing the impact of the speaker's dancing
When you hear that music you can't sit still
Asserting that the music compels people to move
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
Suggesting that if a family member won't dance, another will
C'mon everybody
Reiterating the invitation to join the celebration
Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
Planning to have a lively party with caution
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
Fearing consequences if parents return unexpectedly
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
Expecting restrictions due to parental presence
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
Envisaging a break from regular activities if caught
Who cares C'mon everybody
Emphasizing the importance of enjoying the moment
