We're Really Gonna Raise The Roof

(album: Old New Borrowed And Blue / Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet - 1974)

Sit up, git up, the stage is getting lit up
We're really gonna raise the roof
Slip up, trip up, I'm trying to do my zip up
We're really gonna raise the roof
You might not have seen us, only pictures in the magazines
So set up, get up, we ain't gonna let up
We're really gonna raise the roof

Mind out, find out, we even get the blind out
We're really gonna raise the roof
I am sure aware of that your Papa thinks that we're a scream
So tell him, tell him, we're really gonna raise the roof

We get by, by, by, 'cos we try, try, try,
we ain't shy, shy, shy, we're like you
We get by, by, by, 'cos we try, try, try,
we ain't shy, shy, shy, we're like you

Blast out, crashed out, you know you're gonna last out
We're really gonna raise the roof
Stare out, swear out, you're gonna tear your hair out
We're really gonna raise the roof
Bam bama loo bama baby,
the man in blue says can you keep it clean
Tell him, tell him We're really gonna raise the roof

We get by, by, by, 'cos we try, try, try,
we ain't shy, shy, shy, we're like you
We get by, by, by, 'cos we try, try, try,
we ain't shy, shy, shy, we're like you

Just keep on rocking give it all that you got
The way you're moving, we'll be in like a shot
We'll get it faster, are you ready to go,
I said go, go, go, go, go, go
Bam bama loo bama baby, the man in blue says can you keep it clean?
Tell him, tell him We're really gonna raise the roof

We get by, by, by, 'cos we try, try, try,
we ain't shy, shy, shy, we're like you
We get by, by, by, 'cos we try, try, try,
we ain't shy, shy, shy, we're like you
You keep a knocking but I can't let you in
If you ain't hot yet, tell me where have you been
'Cos when we're done you'll be out on the floor
I said more, I said more, I said more whoopee!
