Well, the house is a-rockin'
Don't bother knockin'
Yeah the house is a-rockin'
Don't bother knockin'
Yeah the house is a-rockin'
Don't bother come on in

Kick off your shoes, start losin' the blues
This old house ain't got nothin' to lose
Seen it all for years, start spreadin' the news
We got room on the floor
Come on baby shake sumpin' loose

Well, the house is a-rockin'
Don't bother knockin'
Yeah the house is a-rockin'
Don't bother knockin'
Yeah the house is a-rockin'
Don't bother come on in

Walkin' up the street you can hear the sound
Of some bad honky-tonkers really layin' it down
They've seen it all for years and got nothin' to lose
So get out on the floor
Shimmy til you shake sumpin' loose

Well, the house is a-rockin'
Don't bother knockin'
Yeah the house is a-rockin'
Don't bother knockin'
Yeah the house is a-rockin'
Don't bother come on in
