Raise The Roof

Lyrics

[QUEENIE] Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya [ENSEMBLE] Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya [QUEENIE] Ya ya! [ENSEMBLE] Ya ya! [QUEENIE] Brrrrrrrrrrr! Ooh! Lock the door and stop complaining Gather 'round and listen well From now on we're entertaining How to hotten up this hell Hold your mood and hold your bladder Skip the food and stop the chatter Can't you hear the pitter-patter? We're not here to eat We came for the heat! Let's raise the roof Let's make a scene Let's hope the gods of love Will shine above And show the way Let's call the shots Let's roll the dice Take my advice It always pays to Raise the roof! Crush the ice and shake forever Tell the evening where to go If you need a new endeavor I can teach you what I know Grab your partner by the collar Bribe the barman with a dollar Just ignite a mighty holler Lead me to the trough Till the clock goes off! [QUEENIE, (ENSEMBLE)] Let's raise the roof (Let's raise the roof) Let's make a scene (Let's make a scene) Let's hope the gods of love Will shine above (Ooohhh...) And show the way (Let's raise the roof!) Let's call the shots (Let's call the shots) Let's roll the dice (Let's roll the dice) Take my advice It always pays to Raise the roof! [QUEENIE] Let the neighbors scream and shout Who cares if they do? If they can't see the light We'll keep them up all night [ENSEMBLE] All right! All right! [QUEENIE] Sooooo Cut the strings and set the table Gather roses on your way Welcome to our Tower of Babel Learn the language, come what may Spare me how the wind is blowing When you keep the whiskey flowing You can reap what you've been sowing If you walk the plank You've got me to thank [QUEENIE, (ENSEMBLE)] Let's raise the roof (Let's raise the roof) Let's make a scene (Let's make a scene) Let's hope the gods of love Will shine above (Ooohhh...) And show the way (Let's raise the roof!) Let's call the shots (Let's call the shots) Let's roll the dice (Let's roll the dice) [QUEENIE] The time for playing nice is done Before the big hand hits the one We've got to do what must be done So put away that smoking gun [ENSEMBLE, (QUEENIE)] And raise the roof! (Time to have some fun!) Go raise the roof! (Time to beat the sun!) Let's raise the roof! [QUEENIE] Raise the roof
