Additional Verses:

2.You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was hot
I mean she was steaming.

And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her.

(Chorus & Interlude)

3.Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar And Grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you better let 'em

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again.

(Chorus and Fade)
