Raise The Roof! (From "The Wild Party")

Lock the door and stop complaining

Gather 'round and listen well

From now on we're entertaining

How to hoten 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 raise the roof)

Let's make a scene (let's make a scene)

Let's hope the gods above will shine above

And show the way

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

Crush the ice and shake forever

Tell the evening where to go

If you need a new endeavor

I can tell 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

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 above will shine above

And show the way

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

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

Cut the strings and set the table

Gather forces on your way

Welcome to the 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

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 above will shine above

And show the way
