Block Party - Chuck Brown, DJ Kool

Barbecue

Shop barbecue

Party shop barbecue

Car wash jumping, wheels they shinning up

Everybody dressed up looking good

Grab my shades so the sun don’t blind me, no

There’s nothing like summertime in the hood

Let’s have a block party

(get on up, ain’t got nothing else to do)

Let’s have a barbecue

(grab your phone, everybody go call your crew)

Let’s have a block party

(it's summertime, and the sun don’t set til 9:00)

As long as the beat don’t break, and the wine keep popping, we gonna keep

rocking til the cops come Knocking

Just get down now, turn around now

Grab a hand now, turn around now

Move around now, to the left now

To the right now, shake a hand now — stop

Grab a hand now, turn around now

Move around now, to the left now — stop

To the right now, one time now

Two times now — Chuck Brown let’s rock!

Cops harassing, trying to shut us down

But ain’t nobody breaking rules, no

We ain’t trying to hurt nobody officer

We ain’t trying to act no fool — we so cool

And we’re just trying to move and

As long as the beat don’t break, and the wine keep popping, we gonna keep

rocking til the cops come Knocking

Just get down now, turn around now

Grab a hand now, turn around now

Move around now, to the left now

To the right now, shake a hand now — stop

Grab a hand now, turn around now

Move around now, to the left now — stop

To the right now, one time now

Two times now — Chuck Brown let’s rock!

As long as the beat don’t stop

As long as the wine keep popping

The house gone keep on rocking

Until the cops come knocking

(2 times)

Hit it

Long as the beat don’t stop

Hit it (as long as the beat don’t stop)

As long as the wine keep popping — hit it y’all

(as long as the wine keep popping)

Just let the house keep rocking

Until the cops come knocking

As long as the beat don’t stop — hit it again

As long as the wine keep popping

We gone let the house keep rocking

Until the cops come knocking

Just get down now, turn around now

Grab a hand now, turn around now

Move around now, to the left now

To the right now, shake a hand now — stop

Grab a hand now, turn around now

Move around now, to the left now — stop

To the right now, one time now

Two times now — Chuck Brown let’s rock!

Just keep on rocking

Let’s keep on rocking y’all

Keep the wine popping

Keep on rocking
