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
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 down 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
I said the house is a rockin' don't bother come on in

Now is the piano solo, immediately followed by Stevie rippin' up his strat with a
blues pentatonic solo. Here is a rough tab attempt at it, he plays so fast its hard to
sounds good though.

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
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 down 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
I said the house is a rockin' don't bother come on in
