Lyrics
I’m shoutin’, I’m singin’
Tonight I’ll do some flingin’
Time to start the show
I’m laughin, I’m hummin’
Because I know what’s comin’
Things have been too slow
And now I’ll make them go
Refrain
What a night for a wing-ding
My baby’s more than willin’
To make the evenin’ thrillin’
Things are right for a wing-ding
And I can tell ya you can count on me
I got the mate I’m datin’ waitin’ patiently
I’m sprucin’ up to loosen up and have a spree
I’m for her and figure she’s for me
Tonight’ll be a beauty, Yip-ta-hoo-tie!
What a time to be tingling
I’ll soon be flyin’ higher than a kite
Because tonight’s my night to have a wing-ding
There’ll be real fine doin’s tonight
Refrain
What a night for a wing-ding
My baby’s more than willin’
To make the evenin’ thrillin’
Things are right for a wing-ding
And I can tell ya you can count on me
I got the mate I’m datin’ waitin’ patiently
I’m sprucin’ up to loosen up and have a spree
I’m for her and figure she’s for me
Tonight’ll be a beauty, Yip-ta-hoo-tie!
What a time to be tingling
I’ll soon be flyin’ higher than a kite
Because tonight’s my night to have a wing-ding
There’ll be real fine doin’s
We’ll leave the town in ruins
Doin’ our doin’s tonight
