Well it was Friday in the p.m. And just like every weekend I was ready to throw down Yeah I get a little tore up So I call my bros up to meet me out on the town Well wild man Willy said I like to really But Idol was on TV And Ray had a date With his wife and Nate quit drinking But he didn't tell me Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight? Is there anybody out there who wants to have a cold beer Kick it to the morning light If I have to raise hell all by myself I will but y'all, that ain't right It's time to get it on Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight? Well I was flying solo down at Silverado's The joint looking like a morgue When this country cutie with a rock and roll booty Came strutting in through the door Yelled who wants to dance and fired up the band With with a Franklin and a shot of patron She looked right at me and said What's it gonna be Are you gonna let me to party alone? Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight? Is there anybody out there who wants to have a cold beer Kick it to the morning light If I have to raise hell all by myself I will but y'all, that ain't right It's time to get it on Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight? Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight? Is there anybody out there who wants to have a cold beer Kick it to the morning light If I have to raise hell all by myself I will but y'all, that ain't right It's time to get it on Am I the only one who wants to have fun tonight? Come on come on Get your good time on Let's have a little fun tonight
