(Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa)      Lock the door and stop complaining   Gather 'round and listen well   From now on we're entertaining   How to hotten up this hell.      Hold the mood and hold the chatter   Skip the food and stop the clatter   Can't you hear that pitter-patter?   We're not here to eat.   We came for the heat!      Let's raise the roof   Let's make a scene   Let's hop the gods of love   Will shine above   And show the way.   Let's call the shots   Let's roll the dice   Take my advice   It always pays   To raise the roof!      Crush the ice and shake forever   Tell the evening where to go   And if you need a new endeavor   I can teach you what I know      Grab your partner by the collar   Bribe the barman with a dollar   Just ignite that mighty holler   Lead me to the trough   Till the light goes off!      Let's raise the roof   Let's make a scene   Let's hop the gods of love   Will shine above   And show the way.   Let's call the shots   Let's roll the dice   Take my advice   It always pays to raise the roof!      Cut the strings and set the table   Gather roses on your way   Welcome to our Tower of Babel   Learn the language, come what may.      Spare me how the wind is blowing   If you keep the whiskey flowing   You can reap what you've been sowing   If you walk the plank   You've got me to thank      Let's raise the roof   Let's make a scene   Let's hope the gods of love   Will shine above   And show the way.   Let's call the shots   Let's roll the dice      The time for playing nice has run   Before the big hand hits the one   We've got to do what must be done      Raise the roof   Raise the roof   Raise the roof   Raise the roof
