Housequake - Prince

Shut up already, damn!

Tell me who in this house know about the quake?

We do

I mean really, really

If you know how to rock say 'yeah'

Yeah

If you know how to party say 'oh yeah'

Oh yeah

But if you ain’t hip to the rare house quake:

Shut up already, damn!

Housequake

Everybody jump up and down

Housequake

There’s a brand new groove going round

(Housequake)

In your funky town

(Housequake)

And the kick drum is the fault

You got to rock this mother, say

(Housequake)

We got to rock this mother, say

(Housequake)

We’re going to show you what to do

You put your foot down on the two

You jump up on the one

Now you’re having fun

You’re doing the housequake

Yeah

Question:

Does anybody know about the quake?

(Yeah!)

Bullshit!

You can’t get off until you make the house shake

Now everybody clap your hands

Come on

Let’s jam y’all

Let’s jam

Don’t wait for your neighbour

Green eggs and ham

Doing the housequake

There’s a brand new groove going round

In your city, in your town: Housequake

And the kick drum is the fault

Housequake

(Housequake)

Housequake

You got to rock this mother

(You got to rock this mother)

Housequake, housequake

You got to rock this mother down

Come on

Housequake, housequake

Now that you got it, let’s do the twist

A little bit harder than they did in '66

A little bit faster than they did in '67

Twist little sister and go to heaven

Come on you all, we got to jam

Before the police come

A groove this funky is on the run

Hey yeah!

Shake your body until your neighbours stare atcha!

Quake, quake, quake, quake, quake, quake

Housequake

Everybody jump up and down

Housequake

There’s a brand new groove going round

(Housequake)

In this city, in your funky town

And the saxophone is the fault

Check it out

If you can’t rock steady

Shut up already, damn, you got to get off!

You know what I’m talking about?

On the one, you all say: housequake

Top of your body, let me hear you shout

Say, housequake

My lord

(Housequake)

My lord

(Housequake)

Bullshit

Louder, say it

(Housequake)

Shock-a-lock-a boom!

What was that?

After shock!

Everybody, everybody

You got to rock, you got to rock

Come on

We’re going to shake, we’re going quake

Because we got the baddest groove that we could a make

We on the two, y’all

The drummer’s gonna tap

We gonna see if we can rock this mother to the max

And that’s a fact

Housequake

Come on say it

(Housequake)

Come on

You can’t follow it

We got the baddest jam in the land

Everybody shut up, listen to the band

Housequake

Shut up already, damn
