"Block Party"

Block Party!

Let's shout it out around the neighborhood
We're scheming something
It's Friday night now everyone should
Get to jumping
Call all your friends and spread the word around
You're all invited
We've got the place and we've got the sound
To ignite it
Gonna raise that roof and burn up the floor
Right into the ground
Tell your crosstown friend and the kid next door
Come down
We're throwing down

Block party, party
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party
Come on out and trip the light
Gonna have a block party, party
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party
Come on out and trip the light
We're gonna do it right

Oh, hmmmmm
Just tell your momma and daddy you'll be coming home late
Don't stay at home if you can catch the groove participate
Oh, gonna raise that roof and burn up the floor
Right into the ground
Tell your crosstown friend and the kid next door
Come down
We're throwing down

Block party, party
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party
Come on out and trip the light
Gonna have a block party, party
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party
Come on out and trip the light
We're gonna do it right

There's an open invitation
Shouted all across the nation
We wanna see you riding through
Tonight
Tell everybody

Gonna raise up the roof and burn up the floor
Right into the ground
Tell your crosstown friend and the kid next door
Come down
We're throwing down

Block party, party
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party
Come on out and trip the light
Gonna have a block party, party
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party
Come on out and trip the light
We're gonna do it right

Block party, party
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party
Come on out and trip the light
Gonna have a block party, party
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party
Come on out and trip the light
We're gonna do it right

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Gonna have a block party, jamming tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Gonna have a block party
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Gonna have a block party, jamming tonight
