The house that rocked (x5)

I was walkin' down the street,cold playin' the post

I was takin' my time

I was chilly the most contemplating and debating about what I should do

I made a sharp left turn

And there was my crew lookin' for a Def Jam in order to rock

Because it's gonna hit the fan at 12:00 o'clock

Then there was this flygirl,she said she wanted to know

Why are you all dressed up with no place to go?

She said she'd take us to a place where we could hear some hip hop

But little did we know she meant the house that rocked

The house that rocked(x3)

She was a real flygirl,dressed in leather and lace

She looked pale "Yo",I thought it was paint on her face

She said it was the last house,corner rockin' bird lane

But you might need a cross and a little wolfsbane

Well we were at the door

And when it opened inside there were freaks galore

Their eyes glowed as if lit by an eerie light

I said "I don't think I should have came here tonight"

And when I asked her what was up,he door slammed and locked

She was gonne and we were,trapped inside the house that rocked

The house that rocked(x3)

Zombies were on the floor and what do ya know

They were doin' the Pee-Wee Herman,what a real creep show

Creatures were playin' cards (Igor was cuttin' the deck)

Somebody screamed (There's Dracula,cover your neck)

Now Lurch was rockin' the mix and on his shirt it read

The music hideously provided for the living dead

Now they was illin' and that was no doubt

But all we wanted to do was get out

I was wishing I was chillin' back around the block

Instead of running for my life inside the house that rocked

The house that rocked(x3)

It was a grizzly situation,very gruesome indeed

And would you believe tha walls started to bleed

Frankstein was steady scheming as he left the room

In came the Mummy and the creature from the black Lagoon

They said "Your time has come" you could scream and can holler

But you're never gonna leave this little shop of horror

You can think that it's a joke to have a heart full of fear

But you feel that way because you're not here

Take heed and stay away,whether you like it or not

'Cause those who enter never leave the house that rocked

The house that rocked (x3)
