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
