(Play) (Play) (Play) {fade in}
Ooh doggie!

We wanna play in the sunshine, we wanna be free
Without the help of a margarita or exstacy
We wanna kick like we used 2, sign up on the dotted line
We're gonna dance every dance like it's gonna be the last time

We got 2 play in the sunshine, turn all the lights up 2 10
I wanna meet U (meet U) and kiss U (kiss U)
And love U (love U) and miss U (miss U)
Do it all over again, do it all over again

We're gonna play in the sunshine, we're gonna get over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2night, I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover
Before my life is done
Some way (some way), some how (some how) I'm gonna have fun

Play in the sunshine

We gonna love all our enemies 'til the gorilla falls off the wall
We're gonna rock him (Rock him)
We're gonna roll him (Roll him)
We're gonna teach him that love will make him tall (So tall)

Aah, pop goes the music when the big white rabbit begin 2 talk
And the color green will make your best friend leave ya (Walk)
It'll make them do "The Walk," but that's cool (That's cool)
Cuz one day (one day), every day (every day) will be a yellow day, let's play

(Play in the sunshine, we're gonna get over) Over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2night, I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover
(Before my life is done) Before my life is done
Some way (some way), some how (some how) I'm gonna have fun

(Play) No!
Now get loose
Play! {x8}

We're gonna play in the sunshine, we're gonna get over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2night, I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover
Before my life is done
I'm gonna, some way, some how, have fun

(Play in the sunshine, we're gonna get over)
(I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2night, I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover)
Before my life is done!
Some way, some how, I just got 2 have fun!

(Play) (Play)

We're not afraid 2 (Play in the sunshine)

Tell me who in this house know about the quake? (We do)

If U know how 2 party say "Oh yeah" (Oh yeah)
But if U ain't hip 2 the rare housequake ... shut up already, damn!

Housequake - Everybody jump up and down
Housequake - There's a brand new groove goin' round (Housequake)
In your funky town (Housequake)
And the kick drum is the fault

Huh, U're doin' ... the housequake
Hey

Question - Does anybody know about the quake? (Yeah!)
Bullshit!

Now everybody clap your hands, come on
Let's jam y'all (Let's jam!)
Don't wait 4 your neighbor
Green eggs and ham
Doin' the housequake

There's a brand new groove goin' round
In your city, in your town
Housequake - And the kick drum is the fault

Housequake (Housequake)
Housequake - U gotta rock this mother (U gotta rock this mother)

Housequake - U gotta rock this mother down, come on
Housequake {x2}

Now that U 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 2 heaven
Come on y'all, we got 2 jam before the police come
A groove this funky is on the run
Hey!

Shake your body till your neighbors stare at cha!
(Quake) {x6}

Housequake - Everybody, everybody jump up and down
Housequake - There's a brand new groove (groove) that's goin' around
Housequake - In this city, in this funky town
Housequake - And the saxophone is the fault, check it out

If U can't rock steady, shut up already
Damn, U got 2 get off if U know what I'm talking about
On the 1 y'all say "Housequake"
Top of your body, let me hear U shout, say
(Housequake) My Lord!
(Housequake) My Lord!

(Housequake) Ooh-wee

Shock-a-lock-a boom!

Everybody, everybody U gotta rock, U gotta rock, come on

We're gonna shake, we're gonna quake
Cuz we got the baddest groove that we could make
We on the 2, y'all, the drummer's gonna tap
We gonna sing it and rock this mother 2 the max
And that's a fact
Housequake - Come on, say it (Housequake)
Come on, U can't follow it
We got the baddest jam in the land
Everybody shut up, listen 2 the band

Housequake

Shut up already, damn!

Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
She worked the night shift
Dishwater blonde, tall and fine
She got a lot of tips
Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff
In a violent room
Fighting with lovers past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast
Well, I ordered - "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't 2 hungry"
Dorothy laughed
She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
Kinda cute, U wanna take a bath?
(do you wanna, do you wanna, bath)
I said "Cool, but I'm leaving my pants on" (she say)
"Cuz I'm kind of going with someone"
She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
"Mind if I turn on the radio?"
"Oh, my favorite song" she said
And it was Joni singing "Help me I think I'm falling"
(Ring)
The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"
Right then I knew I was through
(Dorothy Parker was cool)
My pants where wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie
Cuz she hadn't read the book first
Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha)
I felt much better so I went back
2 the violent room (tell us what U did)
Let me tell U what I did...

I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fighting stopped
Next time I'll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well

It was 7:45 we were all in line
2 greet the teacher Miss Cathleen
First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us where ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose
She always stood at the back of the line
A smile beneath her nose
Her favorite number was 20 and every single day
If U asked her what she had 4 breakfast
This is what she'd say
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Cynthia wore the prettiest dress
With different color socks
Sometimes I wondered if the mates where in her lunchbox
Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn't around
Lucy cried, I almost died, U know what we found?

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, honey
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Starfish and coffee

Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she'd draw
On every wall in every school
But it's all right, it's 4 a worthy cause
Go on, Cynthia, keep singin'

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

(starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told ya so)
(starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told ya so)

Young is the night
It feels so right
Now that U're mine
Let's take our time

The man in the moon is smiling
4 he knows what I'm dreaming of
2night is the night 4 making slow love

The gentle breeze
It blows with ease
Let's make it slow
Just like the wind blows

Let's make it last 4ever
4 a hundred times wouldn't be enough
2night is the night 4 making slow love

CHORUS:
Slow love
So much better when we take it easy
Slow love
It's so much better when we take our time

Love's in your eyes (In your eyes)
Eyes never lie
Don't rush the feelin'
U got me reelin'

U can see through race car drivers
Let me show U what I'm made of
2night is the night 4 making slow love

CHORUS {repeat 2 fade}

Hot thing!

Hot thing - barely 21
Hot thing - lookin' 4 Big Fun
Hot thing - what's your fantasy?
Hot thing - do U wanna play with me?

Hot thing - baby, U dance so good
Hot thing - baby, I knew U would
Hot thing - tell me what U see
Hot thing - when U smile, when U smile, when U smile
Are your smiles, are your smiles 4 me?

Hot thing - maybe U should give your folks a call
Hot thing - tell'em U're goin' 2 the Crystal Ball
Hot thing - tell'em U're comin' home late if U're comin' home at all
Hot thing - U can tell'em U found a brand new baby doll

Hot thing - I can't... I can't wait 2 get U home
Hot thing - where we can be alone
Hot thing - I could read U poetry
And then we could.. we could make a story of our own
(We could make a story of our own)

Hot thing!
Hot, hot, hot thing!
Hot thing, hot thing
Hot thing, hot thing

Hot thing - barely 21
Hot thing - lookin' 4 Big Fun
Hot thing - what's your fantasy?
Hot thing - don't U wanna play with me?

Hot thing!
Hot thing!
Hot thing - I can't wait 2 get U home

Hot thing
