Yeah
Now tell me girl
Won't you tell me true
Help me get this out of my head

Now fenny thinks that there ain't no stoppin'
Until you got me flat on my back

You know my number
Just give me a call
You know what I'm thinking
We're just havin' a ball

Now there's things that I agree with
And things that I really don't
If you think I'm free to try something crazy
There ain't nothing 'round that I won't

You know my number
Just give me a call
You know what I'm thinking
We're just havin' a ball

Yeah
Just havin' a ball
Just havin' a ball
Just havin' a ball
Just havin' a ball

Now if you want to spend some time with me
If you've got some time to kill
Tell more or else I'll leave this place
Know a couple of a ladies that will

You know my number
Just give me a call
You know what I'm thinking
We're just havin' a ball

You know my number
Just give me a call
You know what I'm thinking
We're just havin' a ball

Yeah
Just havin' a ball
Just havin' a ball
Just havin' a ball
Just havin' a ball

You know my number
Just give me a call
You know what I'm thinking
We're just havin' a ball

You know my number
Just give me a call
You know what I'm thinking
We're just havin' a ball

You know my number
Just give me a call
You know what I'm thinking
We're just havin' a ball

Styx is a rock band from Chicago formed in 1970. They enjoyed great success with pop rock and hard rock songs, and became famous for their power ballads and album releases of the mid 1970s and early 80s.

The band has gone through some famously nasty internal struggles, drug problems, illnesses and deaths, but continues to perform today (with a significantly altered line-up). Tommy Shaw, from Montgomery, AL, left but returned to the band. Drummer John Panozzo developed a debilitating drinking problem and ultimately died. Dennis DeYoung developed an acute case of photosensitivity, and he left the band. They fought among themselves for control of the band name. Glen Burtnik also left and returned, this time on bass, to replace Chuck Panozzo (John’s brother), who had also left the band. (whew.)
