Ray's Rockhouse Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

Ray's rock house, that's my joint 

House of soul, git my point 

We don't care what's your dues 

Come in here, lose yo' blues 

When trouble comes a-knockin' 

Everything looks better while yo' rockin' 

You don't notice trouble while yo' rockin' 

Rock 

Let's rock! That's what we're offerin' you 

Let's rock! That's what we wanted to do 

Let's rock! Rock all yo troubles away 

Let's rock! Rock till the dawnin' of day 

Let's rock! Rock house is ready to roll 

Let's rock! Rock house is good fo the soul 

Every Saturday night there's a scene 

That's a part of the fun 

Mrs. Tucker will enter the joint 

In a search for her son 

Every Saturday night he sneaks out 

Leavin' her in the lurch 

But she's lookin' to bring him on home 

'Cause tomorrow is church 

She really hates the rock house 

She's sure the Devil is in control here 

Nothin' but rock 'n' roll here 

Lady who got a lotta rockin' to do 

Swing, whatta yo waitin' for 

We got plenty of soul for you 

Everybody gotta loosen your hip 

Do a few rolls, wait till yo' feel yo' back slip 

Then yo rockin', rock! 

Rock 

Let's rock! That's what we're offerin' you 

Let's rock! That's what we wanted to do 

Let's rock! Rock all yo troubles away 

Let's rock! Rock till the dawnin' of day 

Let's rock! Rock house is ready to roll 

Let's rock! Rock house is good fo the soul 

Sisters of the flock house 

Ain't got no business comin' to the rock house 

All the people in here are all in to sin in here 

Of this there's no doubt 

That's why Miz' Tucker is pullin' Sam out 

Rock 

Let's rock! That's what we're offerin' you 

Let's rock! That's what we wanted to do 

Let's rock! Rock all yo troubles away 

Let's rock! Rock till the dawnin' of day 

Let's rock! Rock house is ready to roll 

Let's rock! Rock house is good fo my soul 

So good 

Every day I go to rock 

Every day 

I feel good 

Every day I go to rock 

Every day 

You know I go to rock 

I go to roll, I go to rock 

I go to rock, I go to roll 

I go to rock, I go to roll 

Every day I go to rock
