(Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa) Lock the door and stop complaining Gather 'round and listen well From now on we're entertaining How to hotten up this hell. Hold the mood and hold the chatter Skip the food and stop the clatter Can't you hear that pitter-patter? We're not here to eat. We came for the heat! Let's raise the roof Let's make a scene Let's hop the gods of love Will shine above And show the way. Let's call the shots 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 And if you need a new endeavor I can teach you what I know Grab your partner by the collar Bribe the barman with a dollar Just ignite that mighty holler Lead me to the trough Till the light goes off! Let's raise the roof Let's make a scene Let's hop the gods of love Will shine above And show the way. Let's call the shots Let's roll the dice Take my advice It always pays to raise the roof! Cut the strings and set the table Gather roses on your way Welcome to our Tower of Babel Learn the language, come what may. Spare me how the wind is blowing If 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 make a scene Let's hope the gods of love Will shine above And show the way. Let's call the shots Let's roll the dice The time for playing nice has run Before the big hand hits the one We've got to do what must be done Raise the roof Raise the roof Raise the roof Raise the roof
