Mama get your shoes on And daddy get your hat The working week is over So let's just leave it at that We talk about it on the telephone Making plans to meet Something's gonna happen Tonight between the full moon and the streets Get outta your seat It's friday night (friday night in America) Oh, friday night (friday night in America) Hit the lights Hold on tight It's friday night, y'all In america And everybody in the neighborhood They're on their way downtown One up top and dressed to kill Ready to hit the ground They come to rumble And they come to dance They come to see the show And if they can't find what they're looking for They know somebody Who knows somebody Who'll know Yeah, gotta be on your toes It's friday night (friday night in America) It's all right (friday night in America) Well you could lose your heart Lose you life It's friday night, y'all Debutantes in a restaurant Gunshots in the parking lot Sweet dreams on the silver screen You better turn up the heat in the back seat Soul savers (flag wavers) Street walkers (sweet talkers) You make it through the weekend You come back and do it again Next friday night Looking through your headlights Hand upon the wheel Your heart's beating like a radio In your soul of stainless steel She's standing on the corner Dressed in midnight blue Ticking like a time bomb When she turns her eyes on you (What ya gonna do?) It's friday night, friday night in America Ooh, night, (friday night in America) Got to be strong to make it All night long on friday night (Friday night in America) (Friday night in America) Hit the lights and hold on tight You can bet your life it's friday night, y'all In America (friday night) All right, all night in America (friday night) Till the dawns early light in America (friday night) In America (friday night)
