Lyrics
[Intro]
Shut up already, damn!
[Verse 1]
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 housequake
Shut up already, damn!
[Chorus]
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
You gotta rock this mother, say (Housequake)
We gotta rock this mother, say (Housequake)
[Verse 2]
We're gonna show you what to do
You put your foot down on the two
You jump up on the one
Now you're havin' fun
Huh, you're doin' the housequake
Yeah
[Verse 3]
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 neighbor
Green eggs and ham
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Housequake (Housequake)
Housequake
You gotta rock this mother (You gotta rock this mother)
Housequake
Housequake
You gotta rock this mother down, come on
Housequake
Housequake
[Verse 4]
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 y'all, we got to jam before the police come
A groove this funky is on the run
Hey, yeah!
[Verse 5]
Shake your body till your neighbors stare atcha!
Quake
Quake
Quake
Quake
Quake
Quake
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
If you can't rock steady, shut up already
Damn, you got to get off, if you know what I'm talking about
On the one, y'all say, "Housequake"
Top of your body, let me hear you shout, say
My Lord! (Housequake)
My Lord! (Housequake)
Bullshit, louder, say it! (Housequake)
Ooh-wee (Housequake)
[Verse 6]
Shock-a-lock-a boom!
What was that? Aftershock!
Everybody, everybody, you gotta rock, you gotta rock, come on
[Verse 7]
We're gonna shake, we're gonna quake
Because we got the baddest groove that we could make
We on the to, y'all, the drummer's gonna tap
We gonna sing it and 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
[Outro]
Shut up already, damn!
