Lyrics
Find another songSh... shut up already, damn!
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!
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) uh
We gotta rock this mother, say (Housequake) huh, uh
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
Hey!
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 you'all (Let's jam!)
Don't wait for your neighbor
Green eggs and ham
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
Housequake (Housequake)
Housequake - You gotta rock this mother (why gotta rock this mother)
Housequake
Housequake - You gotta rock this mother down, come on
Housequake
Huh! Housequake
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 you'all, we got to jam before the police come
A groove this funky is on the run
Hey!
Shake your body till your neighbors stare at cha!
(Quake)

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
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 you'all say "Housequake"
Top of your body, let me hear you shout, say
(Housequake) My Lord!
(Housequake) My Lord!
(Housequake) Bullshit, louder, say it!
(Housequake) Ooh-wee
Shock-a-lock-a boom!
What was that? Aftershock!
Everybody, everybody you gotta rock, you gotta rock, come on
We're gonna shake, we're gonna quake
'Cuz we got the baddest groove that we could make
We on the two, you'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
Come on, you can't follow it
We got the baddest jam in the land
Everybody shut up, listen to the band
Housequake
Shut up already, damn!!
