You’ve been waitin’ for five long days
Passin’ time in so many ways, oh yeah
Just waitin’, oh, just waitin’, baby
Ooh, Lord you’ve been waitin’ for tonight, ow

Money is burnin’ a hole in your pocket
Friday night we’ll blow the stars out of socket, oh yeah
Ooh, skyrocket, Oh, skyrocket, babe
Ooh, Lord we’re gonna rock it all tonight

It’s gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll weekend
And eight o’clock’s when the show begins
Get on the phone, call up all your friends
Tell ’em it’s gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll weekend
Rock ‘n’ roll weekend, rock ‘n’ roll

Check your watch, it’s gettin time
Flash by the mirror, make sure you’re lookin fine, oh yeah
Well, car waitin’ outside, your momma sittin’ by your side
Hey, we’ll take that midnight ride tonight

Oh, it’s gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll weekend
And eight o’clock’s when the show begins
Get on the phone, call up all your friends
Tell ’em it’s going to be a rock ‘n’ roll weekend
