House That Rocked
Words: n.glover, l.dukes, r.wheeler music: l.smith arranged by: j.saddler - 1987 from the album "ba-dop-boom-bang"
The house that rocked (x5)
I was walkin' down the street,cold playin' the post
I was takin' my time
I was chilly the most contemplating & debating about what i should do
I made a sharp left turn
And there was my crew lookin' for a def jam in order to rock
Because it's gonna hit the fan at 12:00 o'clock
Then there was this flygirl,she said she wanted to know
Why are you all dressed up with no place to go?
She said she'd take us to a place where we could hear some hip hop
But little did we know she meant the house that rocked
The house that rocked(x3)
She was a real flygirl,dressed in leather & lace
She looked pale "yo",i thought it was paint on her face
She said it was the last house,corner rockin' bird lane
But you might need a cross & a little wolfsbane
Well we were at the door
And when it opened inside there were freaks galore
Their eyes glowed as if lit by an eerie light
I said "i don't think i should have came here tonight"
And when i asked her what was up,he door slammed & locked
She was gonne & we were,trapped inside the house that rocked
The house that rocked(x3)
Zombies were on the floor & what do ya know
They were doin' the pee-wee herman,what a real creep show
Creatures were playin' cards (igor was cuttin' the deck)
Somebody screamed (there's dracula,cover your neck)
Now lurch was rockin' the mix & on his shirt it read
The music hideously provided for the living dead
Now they was illin' & that was no doubt
But all we wanted to do was get out
I was wishing i was chillin' back around the block
Instead of running for my life inside the house that rocked
The house that rocked(x3)
It was a grizzly situation,very gruesome indeed
And would you believe tha walls started to bleed
Frankstein was steady scheming as he left the room
In came the mummy & the creature from the black lagoon
They said "your time has come" you could scream & can holler
But you're never gonna leave this little shop of horror
You can think that it's a joke to have a heart full of fear
But you feel that way because you're not here
Take heed & stay away,whether you like it or not
'cause those who enter never leave the house that rocked
The house that rocked (x3)
