House Rent Scuffle Lyrics

Play that thing, play that thing just right
Play that thing, play that thing just right
We got to scuffle the house rent tonight

My house rent's due, my gas bill run up to ten
My house rent's due, my gas bill run up to ten
I wouldn't have no light but the light man couldn't get in!

(spoken:
Oh, play that thing, boy!
Everybody dance and have a good time!Lil Johnson - House Rent Scuffle - http://motolyrics.com/lil-johnson/house-rent-scuffle-lyrics.html
I got everything to drink from soda water to wine
I got fried chicken, even got red beans and rice
Now don't you hear me talking to you!
This is Miss Lil Johnson, mugs!
Somebody buy the piano player a drink
He's just too tight!
I wish you'd play that at my house every Saturday night!
Don't forget the landlady!)

Note: having a house rent party was popular way of raising the money to pay the rent to the landlord or lady as well as other bills like gas, electricity and water.
