Bringing Down The House
©2009 Stephen K. Donnelly

Shore up the walls and reinforce those floors
Stock up the icebox we're gonna need it for sure
The dance floor's gonna be jumpin' 'til quarter to four

Batten the hatches and barricade the doors
Once we're on board, no going back to shore
The house'll be rocking 'till you can't take any more

Bringing down the house (all night)
Bringing down the house (all right)
Bringing down the house (outta sight)
Bringing down the house (that's right)
Kingmakers are out and we're
Bringing down the house

Couldn't keep us locked up in the county jail
All we wanna do is twist, jump and wail
We're sure to deliver the goods without fail

Got Bobby slapping out the rhythm on the traps
We got Johnny playing the git like he can't go back
There's no turning round, this
Train's on a one-way track

Chuggin' like steamboat, soaring like a jumbo jet
Speedin' like something that ain't been invented yet
This beat is gonna move you, you can bet

Gotta get your tickets well, in advance
If you want to come out to this Sunday dance
No tickets at the door no, no,
Not a chance

Bringing down the house (sold right out)
Bringing down the house ('til last call)
Bringing down the house (standing room only)
Bringing down the house (one and all)
Kingmakers are out and we're
Bringing down the house
