Raise The Roof
From Andrew Lippa's 'Wild Party', here is one of the most popular chorus numbers in recent Broadway history! With a salsa flair and call/response chorus, this song can work equally well as a show opener or in the middle of a set to keep the party going. Features an alto soloist through the first verse and later on to lead the choir on the final build.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Alto, Tenor & Bari Sax

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Ya ya! Ya ya! Brrrrrrrrrrr! Lock the door and stop complaining Gather 'round and listen well From now on we're entertaining How to hotten up this hell Hold your mood and hold your bladder Skip the food and stop the chatter Can't you hear the 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 hope 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! Let the neighbors scream and shout Who cares if they do? If they can't see the light We'll keep them up all night So...... Get the drinks 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 When you keep your chances going 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 hop 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 is done Before the big hand hits the one We've got to do what must be done So put away that smoking gun And raise the roof! Time to have some fun! Let's raise the roof! Time to beat the sun! Let's raise the roof! (Wild Party)
