Lock the door and stop complaining,
Gather 'round and listen well,
From now on we're entertaining,
How to hotten 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 of love,
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 of love 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 neighbours 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 roses 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 of love 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),
The time for playing nice is done,
Before the big hand hits the one,
We've got to do what must be done,
So put away that smoking gun,
And raise the roof!

Go raise the roof!
Let's raise the roof!

Raise the roof.
