Block Party Songtext
von Stacy Lattisaw With Johnny Gill

Block party!!!

Let's shout it out around the neighborhood
We're scheming something, yeah!!
It's Friday night
Now everyone should, get to jumping
Ummmmm... Call all your friends
And spread the word around
You're all invited
We've got the place
And we've got the sound, to ignite it

Gonna raise that roof
And burn up the floor, right into the ground
Tell your crosstown friend
And the kid next door
Come down
We're throwing down


Block party, party!!!
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party!!!
Come on out and trip the light

Gonna have a block party, party!!!
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party!!!
Come on out and trip the light
We're gonna do it right

Ohhhhhh, hmmmmm

Just tell your mama and your daddy too
You'll be coming home late
Ummmmm
Don't stay at home
If you can catch the groove
Participate
Ohhhhhh
Gonna raise that roof
And burn up the floor, right into the ground
Tell your crosstown friend
And the kid next door
Come down
We're throwing down


Block party, party!!!
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party!!!
Come on out and trip the light

Gonna have a block party, party!!!
Gonna jam the box tonight
Block party, party!!!
Come on out and trip the light
We're gonna do it right

There's an open invitation
Shouted all across the nation
We wanna see you riding through
Tonight tonight tonight tonight

Tell everybody

Gonna raise up the roof and burn up the floor
Right into the ground
Tell your crosstown friend
And the kid next door
Come down
We're throwing down

Block party, party!!!
Gonna jam the box tonight

Block party, party!!!
Come on out and trip the light

Gonna have a block party, party!!!
Gonna jam the box tonight

Block party, party!!!
Come on out and trip the light

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
