Says he has the blues, but he's got a lot of fun
Oh baby. Yeah now, baby.
Oo-oo-ooooh, baby. Some fun tonight!
Saw Uncle John, with Long Tall Sally
He saw Aunt Mary comin and he ducked back in the alley
Oh baby. Yeah oh baby.
Oo-oo-ooooh, baby. Some fun tonight!
Well Long Tall Sally built, pretty thin she got,
Everything that Uncled John needs
Oh baby. Yeah now, baby.
Oo-oo-ooooh, baby. Some fun tonight!
We're gonna have some fun tonight,
Have some fun tonight.
Everything's all right.
Have some fun tonight.
Have some fun, yeah, yeah, yeah!
We're gonna have some fun tonight,
Have some fun tonight.
Everything's all right.
Have some fun tonight.
Yes, we'll have some fun.
Some fun tonight!
