My friends sure like it when I'm all shook up for you
They think you're a perfect 10, indeed I think so too
So get your stuff, button up, get yout butt down on below
Ding dong sound the alarms, it's me I'm coming over
Don't you hear them serenade us
Don't be late for our parade, come on

Enough of that rotten thought don't you know I'd never hurt ya
The next stop is the candy shop, I'll serve you a pound of sugar
Wrap it up in cellophane
Just don't be late for our parade, come on
They are passing by in a cavalcade
They're on the way to our parade, come on
Come on now

I only thought it could be fun for the night
I think you'll want it for the rest of your life
I learn my lesson and I stay after school
I teach the lovers to fight but I
I must have gone too far

Our kids will be different kids than the other kids we know
They're playing with sticks and twigs, we got 5 or 6 or more
But right now I got other plans, important plans and you're part of them
We're never going back again so get outside, look at the sky
There's not any sign of rain
no rain today on our parade, come on
Listen up now, don't you hear them serenade us
Don't be late for our parade, come on
Come on now

I only thought it could be fun for the night
I think you'll want it for the rest of your life
I learn my lesson and I stay after school
I teach the lovers to fight but I
I must have gone too far

I must have gone too far but now I'm making up for that
uh huh I'm taking charge, I'm getting started please step back
It's cause I got on my best dress I guess I made you look
I must have got you hooked
I must, I must have gone too far

Hurry up now
Get your stuff, button up, get your butt down on below
Ding dong sound the alarms, it's me I'm coming over

I only thought it could be fun for the night
I think you'll want it for the rest of your life
I learn my lesson and I stay after school
I teach the lovers to fight but I
I must have gone too far

It could be fun for the night
I think you'll want it for the rest of your life
I learn my lesson and I stay after school
I teach the lovers to fight but I
I must have gone too far
