Saturday nite and time that I go to bed
   Daddy goodnite and momma goodnite, it's ten
   Don't forget, son, to pray
   Anything, dad, you say
   I'm gonna pray 'til both my knees are red
  
   Prayin' for a party, C'mon Lord, C'mon Lord
   Prayin' for a party
  
   All of my friends are prayin' like prayin' fools
   Send us a little jive and we'll be all right
   What do we have to do
   What do we have to do
   What do we have to do, Lord, to get on through
  
   Chorus
  
   I just can't wait no more
   I'm runnin' out that door
   God helps those who help themselves to a real good time
  
   Chorus
