Verse 1:

(w/Fig.1) Well there's gonna be a party, gonna make some noise
Yeah we're invitin' all the girls, invitin' all the boys
There'll be dancin' on the tables, dancin' on the chairs
Yeah there'll be dancin' in the parking lots and up and down the stairs

F  G                          G  C
     Close the windows,      lock the doors
F  G                       G  C
     Turn it up now,       pack the floors
F      G                     G  C
  Cops   are on the outside,      landlord's on the phone
        D
Quick turn out all the lights pretend there ain't nobody home!


Chorus:
            G       D            Em   C
   It's a house arrest - every body run
     G           D               Em       C
   I gotta plead guilty havin' - too much fun
             G     D            Em         C
   This is a house arrest - up against the wall
      G           D            Em       C
   We can't start rockin' just havin' a ball


Other verses are the same as Verse 1.

Middle 8:
B  B  A  B                                         E
            We'll be waking up the neighbours 
B  B  A  B                                    A
            Bouncin' off the walls 
B  B  A  B                                         E
            Hangin' off the ceilings. 
           A                                 B
We'll be dancing in and out of the halls...
