House Of Rhythm

(album: Don't Disturb This Groove - 1987)

Two nights ago I had a dream
The radio was on and the TV
I was hungry, I couldn't sleep
So I went down to the kitchen to find something to eat
So I opened up the door of my G.E.
I didn't have no groceries
So I headed down to the corner store
'Cause I had the bills for a few bites more
There were people dancing in the street
Moving to the funky beat just grooving
They were dancing to the rhythm of the back beat
So I lost my head and followed the crowd
To a doorway where the music was loud
And inside they were dancing and singing and
I heard them shouting

Hey, this is the house of rhythm, welcome everybody
Yeah, this is the house of rhythm, we come here to party

The girls were fly and the DJ was rough
He was playing wild and furious
Scratching, rapping, cutting it up

Yo, this homeboy was serious
I'm the love machine, I never lose the crowd
Said all you other DJ's just don't know how to do it like Mr. Nice
I'm like Kentucky fried chicken, I di it right
There were people dancing in the street
Moving to a funky beat just grooving
They were dancing the rhythm of the back beat
Well, I lost my head started to shout
In my p.j. I was turning it out
And no one stopped to stare
Cause it doesn't even matter what clothes you're wearing

Hey, this is the house of rhythm, welcome everybody
Hey, this is the house of rhythm, we like to party
Live tonight
The house will rock
Live tonight
Live tonight
