Block Party - Songtext
von Chuck Brown

Barbecue
Shop barbecue
Party shop barbecue

Car wash jumping, wheels they shining 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 nine)

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

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 nine)

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 gon′ keep on rocking
Until the cops come knocking

As long as the beat don't stop
As long as the wine keep popping
The house gon′ keep on rocking
Until the cops come knocking

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
(Just let the house keep rocking)
Until the cops come knocking
(Until the cops come knocking)

As long as the beat don′t stop - hit it again
(As long as the beat don't stop)
As long as the wine keep popping
(As long as the wine keep popping)

We gon' let the house keep rocking
(We gon′ let the house keep rocking)
Until the cops come knocking
(Until the cops come knocking)

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

Just keep on rocking
Let's keep on rocking y′all

Keep the wine popping
Keep on rocking

We no, we no stoppin'
′Til the cops come knockin'...
