Friday night in California

Everybody busy making plans

Henrietta's got a hot date

With a drummer from a local band

Well, she's agreed that they can meet up

When he's finished working at the gym

Henrietta's got a picture

But she doesn't think it looks like him

One night stand

All she wants is a one night romance

Take my hand

And let's pretend we're in love

I got to get out, let myself go

Sing like a cowboy, ro-de-o-do

Dance like a slave in Caligula's Rome

Baby I don't want to go home

See Henrietta's in a potentially dangerous situation

She hasn't validated the identity

of the young man she's dating

It could lead to all sorts of misdemeanours

Well, when they finally got to make love

She could tell that there was something wrong

Henrietta's little drum boy

Was playing to a different song

One night stand (One night stand)

All she wanted was one night's romance (One night's)

So, take my hand (Take my hand)

And let's pretend we're in love

I said, "One night stand" (One night stand)

That's all she wanted was one night's romance (One night's)

Take my hand (Take my hand)

And let's pretend we broke up (Ah yeah)

'Cause I got to get out, let myself go

Sing like a cowboy, ro-de-o-do

Dance like a slave in Caligula's Rome

Well, baby I don't want to go home, no I don't

Yeah, she got lucky this time didn't

realise the danger she was in

Left herself wide open
