Rip It Up Lyrics

(Robert Blackwell/John Marascalco)
[Outtake from "La Bamba" Soundtrack Sessions]

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"
Cause it's Saturday night and I'm feelin' fine
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 rock it up, and ball tonight
Got me a date and I won't be late
Picked her up in my 88
s*** on down by the union hall
When the joint starts jumpin' I'll have a ball

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 rock it up, and ball tonight

'Long about ten I'll be flying high
Walk on out unto the sky
But I don't care if I spend my dough
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul
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 rock it up, and ball tonight
