Words: n.glover, l.dukes, r.wheeler music: l.smith arranged by: j.saddler - 1987 from the album ba-dop-boom-bang<br><br>The house that rocked (x5)<br>I was walkin' down the street,cold playin' the post<br>I was takin' my time<br>I was chilly the most contemplating and debating about what I should do<br>I made a sharp left turn<br>And there was my crew lookin' for a def jam in order to rock<br>Because it's gonna hit the fan at 12:00 o'clock<br>Then there was this flygirl,she said she wanted to know<br>Why are you all dressed up with no place to go? <br>She said she'd take us to a place where we could hear some hip hop<br>But little did we know she meant the house that rocked<br><br>The house that rocked(x3)<br><br>She was a real flygirl,dressed in leather and lace<br>She looked pale yo,i thought it was paint on her face<br>She said it was the last house,corner rockin' bird lane<br>But you might need a cross and a little wolfsbane<br>Well we were at the door<br>And when it opened inside there were freaks galore<br>Their eyes glowed as if lit by an eerie light<br>I said I don't think I should have came here tonight<br>And when I asked her what was up,he door slammed and locked<br>She was gonne and we were,trapped inside the house that rocked<br><br>The house that rocked(x3)<br><br>Zombies were on the floor and what do ya know<br>They were doin' the pee-wee herman,what a real creep show<br>Creatures were playin' cards (igor was cuttin' the deck)<br>Somebody screamed (there's dracula,cover your neck)<br>Now lurch was rockin' the mix and on his shirt it read<br>The music hideously provided for the living dead<br>Now they was illin' and that was no doubt<br>But all we wanted to do was get out<br>I was wishing I was chillin' back around the block<br>Instead of running for my life inside the house that rocked<br><br>The house that rocked(x3)<br><br>It was a grizzly situation,very gruesome indeed<br>And would you believe tha walls started to bleed<br>Frankstein was steady scheming as he left the room<br>In came the mummy and the creature from the black lagoon<br>They said your time has come you could scream and can holler<br>But you're never gonna leave this little shop of horror<br>You can think that it's a joke to have a heart full of fear<br>But you feel that way because you're not here<br>Take heed and stay away,whether you like it or not<br>'cause those who enter never leave the house that rocked<br><br>The house that rocked (x3)
