Lyrics:

Saturday night and time that I go to bed
Daddy goodnight and Momma goodnight, it's ten
Don't forget, son, to pray
Anything, Dad, you say
I'm gonna pray 'til both my knees are red
CHORUS
Prayin' for a party, c'mon Lord, c'mon Lord
Prayin' for a party
All of my friends are prayin' like prayin' fools
Send us a little jive and we'll be all right
What do we have to do
What do we have to do
Whaat do we have to do, Lord, to get on through
Prayin' for a party, c'mon Lord, c'mon Lord
Prayin' for a party
All of my friends are prayin' like prayin' fools
I just can't wait no more
I'm runnin' out that door
God helps those who help themselves to a good time
Prayin' for a party, c'mon Lord, c'mon Lord
Prayin' for a party
All of my friends are prayin' like prayin' fools
