Lyrics
HEY, TONIGHT I'M GOIN' OUT ON THE TOWN
GONNA STEP RIGHT UP AND LAY MY MONEY DOWN
HEY BARTENDER, THIS BIG SPENDER'D LIKE TO BUY ANOTHER ROUND
'CAUSE TONIGHT I'M GOIN' OUT ON THE TOWN
WELL, TONIGHT I'M GONNA HIT 21
THIS JOKER'S WILD AND NOW THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN
DON'T COUNT ME OUT, BEYOND A DOUBT
WHEN I'M ABOUT TO DOUBLE DOWN
'CAUSE TONIGHT I'M GOING OUT ON THE TOWN
BRIDGE:
WELL, THOSE HIGH ROLLERS BETTER ROLL OUT OF MY WAY
'CAUSE I'VE GOT LOTS OF CASH AND EVEN MORE CACHE'
BABY ONCE I FIND MY RHYTHM THERE'S NO WAY I CAN LOSE
DIG THE BROADS - DIG THE BOOZE - BABY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES
TONIGHT YOU'LL FIND ME TALKIN' TO THE DICE
I'M IN ZONE THOSE BONES ARE TAKIN' MY ADVICE
I'LL BE IN HEAVEN WHEN THOSE LUCKY SEVENS
START TO ROLL AROUND
CAUSE TONIGHT I'M GOIN' OUT ON THE TOWN.
SOLO
BRIDGE:
WELL, THOSE HIGH ROLLERS BETTER ROLL OUT OF MY WAY
'CAUSE I'VE GOT LOTS OF CASH AND EVEN MORE CACHE'
BABY ONCE I FIND MY RHYTHM THERE'S NO WAY I CAN LOSE
DIG THE BROADS - DIG THE BOOZE - BABY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES
TONIGHT IS GONNA BE ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS
GONNA HIT THAT JACKPOT .,.MAN, HIT THE HEIGHTS
NOT GONNA HIT THE SACK 'CAUSE JACK THIS KING IS WEARIN' THE CROWN
YEAH TONIGHT I'M GOIN' OUT ON
TONIGHT I'M GOIN' OUT BABE
WELL, TONIGHT I'M GOIN' OUT ON THE TOWN
