The Block Party Lyrics & Chords By Lisa "left Eye" Lopes

Uh, uh, shake, uh, shake it down now
Uh, uh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah one time
Two times, shake it down now
Remember way back in the day (hey hey)
When the kids from around the way
Used to come out and play
And the double dutch bus
Had you bumpin' on down the street
Tryin' to move your feet
While you shake your little booty
To the groove of the beat (uh)
To the beat
To the beat (beat)
You hit the corner and you stopped
Hey y'all there's a party on the other block
We hit the jackpot
Jackpot (what what)
And it's only 12 o'clock
And the sun is hot
Free soda pop
We about to rock rock rock rock...
What's your name
Lisa
And where you from
9th street
Where you goin'
To the party
Can I come
Uh huh
Ooh they're playin' hop scotch
Come on
Come on hop with me
Come on
Ooh them boys is pop lockin'
Come on
Come on bounce with me
We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long
Music pumping and we're jumping
And they played our favourite songs
We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long
Music pumping and we're jumping
And they played our favourite songs
I'm a big city girl
From all over the world
And I do what I wanna do
Right foot left shoe
Then you take it on down
Then you shake it around
Bring it up
Clap your hands
Then you turn it all around
We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long
Music pumping and we're jumping
And they played our favourite songs
Remember when we did the wop (pop pop)
And you used to make that head bop (bop)
Like it would never stop (stop)
And them other grown folks
Gettin' busy with the gigolo
Drinkin' Michelob
It was six am before they hit the road (uh)
Hit the road hit the road (road)
Them fat gold chains and high top banks (hey)
Run DMC was all you ever played (yeah)
Shell toe Adidas
No strings (mmm mmmm)
There's somethin' cookin' in the pop
About to hit the spot
Boombox
Play me some of that hip hop (hip hop)
Hip hop hip hop hip hop...
What's your name
Lisa
And where you from
9th street
Where you goin'
To the party
Can I come
Uh huh
Ooh they 'bout to get it on
Come on
Come on bounce with me
Come on
Ooh they on the dance floor
Come on
Come on rock with me
We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long
Music pumping and we're jumping
And they played our favourite songs
We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long
Music pumping and we're jumping
And they played our favourite songs
Come on
Come on bounce with me
Come on
Come on groove with me

Music pumping and we're jumping
And they played our favourite songs
We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long
Music pumping and we're jumping
And they played our favourite songs
I'm a big city girl
From all over the world
And I do what I wanna do
Right foot left shoe
Then you take it on down
Then you shake it around
Bring it up
Clap your hands
Then you turn it all around
We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long
Music pumping and we're jumping
And they played our favourite songs
We were dancing all night long
