Mama get your shoes on
And Daddy get your hat
The workin' week is over
So let's just leave it at that
We talk about it on the telephone
Makin' plans to meet
Something's gonna happen
Tonight between the full moon and the streets

In America
And everybody in the neighbourhood
They're on their way downtown
One up top and dressed to kill
Ready to hit the ground
They come to rumble And they come to dance
They come to see the show
And if they can't find what they're lookin' for
They know somebody who knows somebody Who knows
capella]
Gotta be on your toes, It's Friday night
Friday night in America It's all right
Friday night in America, Well you could
lose your heart
Lose you life
It's Friday night, y'all

Gunshots in the parking lot
Sweet dreams on the silver screen
You better turn up the heat in the back seat
Soul savers (flag wavers)
Street walkers (sweet talkers)
You make it through the weekend
You come back and do it again
Next Friday night

Lookin' through your headlights
Hand upon the wheel
Your heart's beatin' like a radio
In your soul of stainless steel
She's standin' on the corner
Dressed in midnight blue
Ticking like a time bomb
When she turns her eyes on you
(Whatcha gonna do?) It's Friday night
Friday night in America all night
Friday night in America,
Got to be strong to make it
All night long on Friday night
Friday night in America
Friday night in America
Hit the lights and
hold on tight

You can bet your life it's Friday night y'all, In America
Friday night
all night in America,
Friday night
Till the dawns early light in America,
Friday night
In America
Friday night
Friday night
Friday night
