CHUCK BERRY - House Lights lyrics

rate me

Hey! Ev'rybody, let's get it on

You got one more chance 'fore the lights come on

Don't let nobody turn you 'round. go 'head on

Do your thing, come on, get down!

I want to know, can you hear me ? Does it sound alright ?

Am I comin' through clearly, gettin' down tonight ?

Well, go on, do your thing, till I call for the lights

Well, is ev'rybody happy ?

I wanna hear you say "Yes"

I wanna know, are you happy ?

I wanna hear you confess

Come on, are you happy ?

Let me hear you say "Yes"

Turn the house lights on

Let the clock tick on

Turn the house lights on

While I'm playing my song

Let the night roll on

Ev'rybody, rock on!

Do you want us to stop ?

Do you want us to play ?

Do you want us to go ?

Do you want us to stay ?

Just diggin' this boogie

All night and all day

Well, hold your hand up higher

So the drummer won't tire

Hold it up a little higher

Set the building on fire

My throat is gettin' drier

So you gotta get higher

(Get on down there now and get it!)

We gotta go now

Yeah, we gotta split

Gotta go get a little bit

No, no, no, no, we gotta quit

I'll go sit by my old git in the pit

Bye, bye, bye, this is it

Now you know we gotta go now

Got to leave the show now

The police at the door now

Gotta close this show now

We really gon' go now

Raise your hand once more now

Get that hand up higher

Well, a little bit higher

I got to see your hand

Yeah, a little bit higher

Well, a little bit higher

Higher, higher

(Get it up there now, get it up there)

Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher

Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher

Higher, bye, bye
