[Part 1: "Rip It Up"]
[Verse 1]
Well it's Saturday night, and I just got paid
Fool about my money, don't try to save
My heart says, "Go! Go! Have a time"
Because it's Saturday night, baby, I'm feeling fine
[Chorus]
Gonna rip it up
Gonna rock it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball tonight
[Verse 2]
Got me a date and now don't be late
Picked her up in my eighty-eight
Shag on down to the union hall
When the joint starts jumping, I'll have a ball
[Chorus]
Gonna rip it up
Gonna rock it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
Gonna rock it up
And ball tonight
[Saxophone Solo]
[Part 2: "Ready Teddy"]
[Intro]
Well, ready, set, go, man, go
I got a girl that I love so
[Chorus]
And I'm ready
Ready, ready, Teddy, I'm ready
Ready, ready, Teddy, I'm ready
Ready, ready, Teddy
I'm ready, ready, Teddy, to rock and roll
[Verse 3]
Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock and roll, baby, she's the apple of my eye
[Chorus]
And I'm ready
Ready, ready, Teddy, I'm ready
Ready, ready, Teddy, I'm ready
Ready, ready, Teddy
I'm ready, ready, Teddy, to rock and roll
