Ray's Rockhouse

(Album: Vocalese - 1985)

Ray's Rockhouse, that's my joint
House of soul, git my point
We don't care what's your blues
Come in here, lose yo' blues
When trouble comes a-knocking
Everything looks better while y'rocking
You don't notice trouble while y'rocking
Rock!

Let's rock! That's what we're offering 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 dawning 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
Leaving her in the lurch
But she's looking t'bring him on home
'Cause tomorrow is church
She really hates the rockhouse
She's sure the devil is in control here
Nothing but rock'n'roll here

Yodle-dole-dole... Lady who
Gotr a lotta rocking to do
Swing.. whatta y'waiting 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'rocking
Rock!

Let's rock! That's what we're offering 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 dawning o'day
Let's rock! Rockhouse is ready t'roll
Let's rock! Rockhouse is good f'th'soul

Sisters of the flockhouse
Ain't got no business coming 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 pulling Sam out
Rock!

Let's rock! That's what we're offering 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 dawning o'day
Let's rock! Rockhouse is ready t'roll
Let's rock! Rockhouse is good f'th'soul
