Raise the Bar
Raising the Bar: A Musical Tale of Chivalry and Libations
Lyrics
The band was rockin' not a seat in the room
The band is playing energetically, and every seat in the room is occupied.
Some guy got up and I and I made my move
The singer notices a man leaving his date, creating an opportunity for him.
Can't believe he left that pretty girl all alone
Expressing surprise that the man left an attractive girl alone.
So I sat down, said howdy mam
The singer sits down and politely greets the woman.
And I'm still right here where I am
The singer emphasizes staying in his current location despite being thirsty.
Ain't going nowhere even though I'm dry as a bone, so
Despite being dry, the singer is determined to stay where he is.
Raise the bar bring it over here
A request to raise the bar, suggesting a desire for more drinks.
From where I'm sitting can't reach my beer
Explaining the difficulty in reaching the beer from the current location.
Cause I've got cute girl whispering in my ear
The singer has a cute girl next to him, whispering sweet nothings.
I knew when I first saw her face
The singer recalls recognizing the attractiveness of the girl upon first sight.
If I get up I'm gonna lose my place
Fearing losing his seat if he gets up from his current spot.
Raise the bar, bring it over here
A repetition of the desire to raise the bar for more drinks.
Rip it up from the floor nails and all
Suggesting a lively atmosphere by encouraging tearing up the floor.
But don't spill a drop of that alcohol
Emphasizing not to spill any alcohol during the lively activities.
Move the party to this side of the room
Moving the party to a different part of the room.
And if someone has a problem with that
If someone has an issue, they are invited to join the singer's location.
They can come on over to where we're at
As long as they bring their own bar stool.
As long as they drag their own bar stool
Empty line, no specific content.
Raise the bar bring it over here
A repetition of the request to raise the bar.
From where I'm sitting can't reach my beer
