  • Yeah
    Oh, yeah
    Ooh, yeah
    Feels good, feels good
    Oh

    Just got paid, it's Friday night
    Party huntin', feelin' right
    Body shakin', all around (body shakin' all around)
    Know one thing (I'm gonna be) I'm gettin' down

    Check the mirror, I'm lookin' fly
    Round up your posse, jump in my ride
    Radio rockin', a monster jam
    Feel the rhythm, pump up the sound

    I'm feelin' so good
    Don't you know I'm just groovin' to the beat?
    I'm groovin', groovin'
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Just got paid (just got paid) Friday night (Friday)
    Party huntin', (party huntin') the bass is right (feelin' alright)
    Booty shakin', all around (all around baby)
    Poured one drink, now I'm gettin' down

    On the floor, rockin' to the beat
    Ooh-wee, you sure look sweet
    Fine young lady standin' by
    Come on baby, sweet eye delight
    Come here girl

    You look so sweet when you're movin' to the beat
    I'm tired of all these boring parties
    Why don't we get on down?
    Come on let's get on down now

    Just got paid, it's Friday night (money in my pocket)
    Party huntin', place is right (place is right)
    Booty shakin', all around (love the way you move girl)
    Poured one drink, now I'm gettin' down

    Get down
    Say ho
    You say it
    Say ho, ho
    Ho, ho
    Say ho
    Ho-oh

    On the floor (on the floor)
    Rockin' to the beat (rockin' baby)
    Ooh-wee (always)
    Sure look sweet (sure is sweet)
    Fine young lady standin' by (young lady standin' by)
    Come on baby, we'll be out tonight
    Look me in my eye

    Just got paid, it's Friday night (can't refuse it)

  • Sheri from OhioOne of your verses is wrong. It should be, "Know one thing, I'm getting down." Not "No one thinks when I'm gettin' down."
  • Freddy from New York, NyIt's amazing how Mr. Riley got away with ripping off the O'Jays lyrics to make the hook on the Johnny Kemp tune.
