Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the 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 a-week a-long
And now the house is empty and my folks are gone
Hoo, c’mon everybody

Oh well, my baby’s number one but I’m gonna dance with three or four
A-and the house’ll be a-shakin’ from my bare feet a-slappin’ on the floor
Well, a-when you hear the music you just can’t sit still
If your brother won’t rock then your sister will
Hoo, c’mon everybody

A-well, we’ll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
A-if the folks come a-home I’m afraid they’re gonna have my hide
They’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
C’mon everybody
