lyrics

There's a great big house at the end of a street
Where everyone dances to a different beat
Rhythm and harmony mingle and meet
And everyone gets along
This is the place where the lines are erased
Between contrasting cultures, religion and race
Everyone's welcome and we all belong
And that's why we all come to the House of Song

We come for blues in the basement
Reggae on the roof
Jazz on the jukebox
The rhythms of soul and rock and roll
And everybody dances all night long

Everybody dances all night long
The music is the magic in the House of Song
Like harmony and rhythm we get along
The music is the magic
In the House of Song
Wo wo

Spinning,turning, living , learning
Keeping the beat, keeping the peace
Twist and twirl, one house one world
Different tunes in different rooms
Infinite rhythms, intimate rhymes
A hundred heartbeats keeping time
I'll dance to yours, you dance to mine
Let's open all the doors and erase the lines

We come for blues in the basement
Reggae on the roof
Jazz on the jukebox
The rhythms of soul and rock and roll
And everybody dances all night long

Everybody dances all night long
The music is the magic in the House of Song
Like harmony and rhythm we get along
The music is the magic
In the House of Song
Wo wo

Spinning,turning, living , learning
Keeping the beat, keeping the peace
Twist and twirl, one house one world
Different tunes in different rooms

Infinite rhythms, intimate rhymes
A hundred heartbeats keeping time
I'll dance to yours, you dance to mine
Let's open all the doors and erase the lines

To the Bossa in the Bedroom
Hip-hop on the tabletop
Country in the Kitchen
Rhumba in the restroom
Classics in the closet
Polka in the parlor
Disco in the den
Calypso on the patio
Some old Chuck Berry in the library
Waltzes in the workshop
Rap out back in the garden shack
Big band in the ballroom
Ragtime in the rec room
Opera in the outhouse
Grateful Dead on the waterbed
And reggae, oh we got reggae
Yes we got reggae
In the House of Song
