Well c'mon everybody And let's get together tonight I got some money in my jeans And I'm really gonna spend it right Been a-doin' my homework all week long now the house is empty the folks are gone C'mon everybody Well my baby's number one But I'm gonna dance with three or four And the house'll be shakin' From my bare feet slapping the floor When you hear that music you can't sit still If your brother won't rock then your sister will C'mon everybody Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide There'll be no more movies for a week or two No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew Who cares C'mon everybody
