[Verse 1]
Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid
A fool about my money, don't try to save
My heart says go, go, have a time
'Cause it's Saturday night, babe, and I'm feeling' fine

[Chorus]
I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
Have a ball tonight

[Verse 2]
Well, I got me a date and I won't be late
I picked her up in my '88'
Shag on down to the social hall
When the music starts jumpin', I'll have a ball

[Chorus]
I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna shake it up
I'm gonna rip it up
Gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And ball tonight

[Verse 3]
Along about ten I'll be flying high
I'll walk on out into open sky
But I don't care if I spend my dough
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul

[Chorus]
I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
Have a ball tonight

[Verse 1]
Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid
A fool about my money, don't try to save
My heart says go, go, have a time
'Cause it's Saturday night, babe, and I'm feeling' fine

[Chorus]
I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And a ball tonight

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
