Gord Bamford - Raise The Bar Lyrics

(Gord Bamford/Cyril Rawson/Byron Hill)

THE BAND WAS ROCKIN' NOT A SEAT IN THE ROOM
SOME GUY GOT UP AND I AND I MADE MY MOVE
CAN'T BELIEVE HE LEFT THAT PRETTY GIRL ALL ALONE
SO I SAT DOWN, SAID HOWDY MAM
AND I'M STILL RIGHT HERE WHERE I AM
AIN'T GOING NOWHERE EVEN THOUGH I'M DRY AS A BONE, SO

CHORUS: RAISE THE BAR BRING IT OVER HERE
FROM WHERE I'M SITTING CAN'T REACH MY BEER
CAUSE I'VE GOT CUTE GIRL WHISPERING IN MY EAR
I KNEW WHEN I FIRST SAW HER FACE
IF I GET UP I'M GONNA LOSE MY PLACE
RAISE THE BAR. BRING IT OVER HERE

RIP IT UP FROM THE FLOOR NAILS AND ALL
BUT DON'T SPILL A DROP OF THAT ALCOHOL
MOVE THE PARTY TO THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM
AND IF SOMEONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT
THEY CAN COME ON OVER TO WHERE WE'RE AT
AS LONG AS THEY DRAG THEIR OWN BARSTOOL

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT CHORUS

YEAH YOU CAN RAISE THE BAR (RAISE THE BAR)
RAISE THE BAR (RAISE THE BAR)
RAISE THE BAR, BRING IT OVER HERE
