Lyrics

Clock Strikes Ten

[Verse 1]

Clock strikes ten, it's a Saturday night

Money in my pocket, and it feels all right

Not stayin' home, gonna stay out late

Gotta hear some rockin' music - it feels just great

[Verse 2]

Clock strikes twelve, Saturday night

All the creeps are sleepin', all the cools in sight

All the kings and queens, they're out tonight

Lookin' for some action till it feels all right

[Chorus]

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

You really got me goin' tonight

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

I'm crazy for some action tonight

[Verse 3]

Clock strikes two, I'll be out all night

All my money's spent, but that's all right

Not goin' home, gonna stay out late

Get ready for some action, want some action tonight

[Verse 4]

Clock strikes four, I want some more

Everybody's layin' on the floor

Not goin' home, gonna stay out late

Gotta get rockin' before it's too late

[Chorus]

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

You really got me goin' tonight

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

I'm crazy for some action tonight

Ooww!

[Verse 5]

Gonna get down

Gonna get on down

Gonna get down

Gonna get on down

Gonna get down

Gonna get on down

Gonna get down

Gonna - get down

Gonna get down

Gonna get on down, wooo

Get down

Gonna get on down, wooo

Get down

Gonna get down

Gonna get down

Gonna get on down

Na na na na-na-na na na na

[Outro]

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

You really got me goin' tonight  (that's right)

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

I'm crazy for some action tonight (na na na na na na na)

Imagine what we're doin' tonight (woo)

You really got me goin' tonight

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

I'm crazy for some action tonight

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

You really got me goin' tonight

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

I'm crazy for some action tonight

Imagine what we're doin' tonight

You really got me goin' tonight
