Ray's Rockhouse, that's my joint
|
House of soul, git my point
|
We don't care what's your views
|
Come in here, lose yo' blues
|
When trouble comes a-knockin'
|
Everything looks better while y'rockin'
|
You don't notice trouble while y'rockin'
|
Rock! (Repeat for 12 bars)
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Let's rock! That's what we're offerin' you
|
Let's rock! That's what we wantcha' t'do
|
Let's rock! Rock all y' troubles away
|
Let's rock! Rock till the dawnin' o'day
|
Let's rock! Rockhouse is ready t'roll
|
Let's rock! Rockhouse is good f'th'soul
|
|
Ev'ry Saturday night there's a scene
|
That's a part o'the fun
|
Mrs. Tucker will enter the joint
|
In a search for her son
|
Every Saturday night he sneaks out
|
Leavin' her in the lurch
|
But she's lookin' t'bring him on home
|
'Cause tomorrow is church
|
She really hates the rockhouse
|
She's sure the devil is in control here
|
Nothin' but rock'n'roll here
|
|
Yodle-dole-dole (Echo) Lady who
|
got a lotta rockin' to do
|
Swing - whatta y'waitin' for
|
We got plenty o'soul for you
|
|
Everybody gotta loosen your hip
|
Do a few rolls wait'll y'feel
|
Y'back'll slip then y'rockin'
|
Rock!
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
Sisters of the flockhouse
|
Ain't got no business comin' to th'rockhouse
|
All the people in here
|
Are all in t'sin in here
|
Of this there's no doubt
|
That's why Miz' Tucker is pullin' Sam out
|
Rock!
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
