  • Oh, look out Bill!

    I got a stupid little job
    It's drivin' me insane
    With those keyhole people
    All they do is complain
    About the tattoo on my arm
    The ring in my ear
    But I don't even care, no no
    I just live through the week
    And when I see them boys
    You know their two-tone suits
    They're all unimportants
    If you need a set of hubcaps
    Or a car painted
    Girl, why don't you follow me

    It's dynamite on Friday night
    Under the big city lights
    It's all right, all right
    Yeah dynamite on Friday night
    Under the big city lights
    It's all right, all right

    Play some sweet guitar, yeah

    Well we meet on the corner
    And we talk all night
    About our wealth situation
    At a rock'n' Roll drive
    We go cruisin'
    So the conversation turns to wise girls
    And more pearls
    I got a beat up old Mustang
    And I painted it black
    There's five in the front seat
    And the rest in the back
    Cruise up and down Sunset
    And watch all the jailbait roll by

    Yeah it's dynamite on Friday night
    Under the big city lights
    It's all right, all right
    Yeah yeah, it's dynamite on Friday night
    Under the big city lights
    It's all right, it's all right
    All right, all right, all right
    All right

    Are you ready. Bring it down now
    Watch out. Well, well, well

    Listen, one of these days
    And it won't be long
    Gonna hear that radio
    Playin' my song
    I'll be the darling of masses
    No great pretender, not me, yeah yeah
    'Cause I can play this guitar
    Hangin' round my neck
    I'm in love with its power
    I believe in its strength
    I got a head full of ideas
    It's drivin' me insane
    But until then

    It's dynamite on Friday night
    Under the big city lights
    It's all right, all right
    Yeah dynamite on Friday night
    Under the big city lights
    All right, all right, one time
    It's dynamite, oh yes it's dynamite
    It's just dynamite on friday night
    It's dynamite, it's on friday night
    Oh friday night
    It's all right, all right, wired
    It's dynamite on friday night
    Under the big city lights
    It's all right, all right
    All together
