THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "Ray's Rockhouse"

(Music by Ray Charles - Lyrics by Jon Hendricks)
Ray's Rockhouse, that's my joint
House of soul, git my point

We don't care what's your blues
Come in here, lose yo' blues
When trouble comes a-knockin'

Everything looks better while y'rockin'
You don't notice trouble while y'rockin'
Rock!

[Repeat]

[Chorus:]

Let's rock! That's what we're offerin' you
Let's rock! That's what we wantcha' t'do
Let's rock! Rock all y' troubles away

Let's rock! Rock till the dawnin' o'day
Let's rock! Rockhouse is ready t'roll
Let's rock! Rockhouse is good f'th'soul


Ev'ry Saturday night there's a scene
That's a part o'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' t'bring him on home
'Cause tomorrow is church

She really hates the rockhouse
She's sure the devil is in control here
Nothin' but rock'n'roll here


Yodle-dole-dole (Echo) Lady who
gotr a lotta rockin' to do

Swing - whatta y'waitin' for
We got plenty o'soul for you


Everybody gotta loosen your hip
Do a few rolls wait'll y'feel
Y'back'll slip then y'rockin'

Rock!

[Chorus]


Sisters of the flockhouse
Ain't got no business comin' to th'rockhouse

All the people in here
Are all in t'sin in here
Of this there's no doubt

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


[Chorus]
