Where the Action Is Songtext
von John Paul Young

Friday night, work is over
Pockets full, I′m in clover
Leave my worries on the shelf
Gonna do things, please myself

I don't know where I′m going
Whichever way the wind is blowin'

But the only thing I know
Is that I'm gonna be where the action is, where the action is
All right, all right, all right (do, do-do-do)
Do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do

Bright lights, record playing
Hot song, people swaying
Rock n′ rollin′ all night long, play the music on and on
I don't mind if I start slowing
I don′t care, I keep on going
As long as I can move my feet


I'm just happy to be, where the action is
Where the action is
All right, all right, all right
Do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do

What′s the use in pretending, when it's time to go home? (time to go home)
Back to the same ol′ grind again (oh oh)
What good does it do me, if I let it show? (if I let it show)
I'm able to do it again, and again, and again and again and again

Friday night, work is over
Pockets full, I'm in clover
Leave my worries on the shelf
Goin′ to do things, please myself

Bright lights, records playing
Hot songs, people swaying
Gonna feel good all night long, I′ll rock it all night long
At where the action is
Do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do
Where the action is (do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do)
All right, all right, all right (do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do)
All right, all right (do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do)
