Well, we were just getting started to have a little party Rocking on the 35th floor When all of a sudden I thought I felt a shudder And my feet started sliding across the floor Well, I turned to my baby I said: Don't you think maybe the hi-fi's a little too loud? She said: Now listen, honey This may sound funny But the whole building's shaking around We're in the middle of an Earthquake Everybody started running for the door There was an Earthquake There was a whole lotta shaking going on Well, one thing I remember In the middle of a tremor I really started seeking the Lord And as the ground began to crack I started looking back At all the things that I'd been living for Well, it goes without saying I really started praying And you should have seen me down on my knees Isn't it a shame That before we call His name It should take catastrophes Like being in an Earthquake There was a shake and a rattle and a roll There was an Earthquake You could say I got shook up for sure In the middle of an Earthquake There was a whole lotta shaking going on In the middle of an Earthquake There was a shake and a rattle and a roll There was an Earthquake You could say I got shook up for sure In the middle of an Earthquake There was a whole lotta shaking going on I was a-shakin' I was a-quakin' Earthquake
