Manhattan Transfer - RAY'S ROCKHOUSE lyrics

rate me

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)
