Lyrics
Oh, 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
Well, I’ve been a doin’ my homework all the week long
And now, the house is empty and the folks are gone
Ooh, c’mon everybody
Oh well, my baby’s number one, but I’m gonna dance with three or four
And then the house’ll be shakin’ from the bare feet a-slappin’ the floor
Well, when you hear that music, you can’t sit still
If your brother won’t rock, then your sister will
Ooh, c’mon everybody
Oh well, we’ll really have a party, but we gotta put a guard outside
If the folks come home, I’m afraid they’re 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
C’mon everybody
