2 3 -3 4 -3 3 4 -3 2
Lace up your boots and we’ll broom on down
2 3 4 4 4 -3 3 4 -3 2
To a knocked out shack on the edge of town
-2 3 -3 4 -5 5
There’s an eight beat com-bo
-5 -5* 5 -5
that just won’t quit
-5* 6 5 3 -2* -2 -1* 2 4 -3
Keep walk-in’ ’til you see a blue light lit
3 -3* -3 3 3 -5 -3* 3
Fall in there and we’ll see some sights
3 -3 4 3 -3* -3
At the house of blue lights

-3 2 -3 -3 2 -3
There’s fry-ers and broil-ers
-3 2 -3 2 3 -3 4
and De-troit bar-be-cue ribs
-5* 5 -5* 5 -5* -5
But the treat of the treats
4 -3 3 4 4
Is when they serve you
-3 3 4 -3* 3
all those fine eight beats
3 -3 3 -5 3 -3* 3 -3* -3
You’ll want to spend the rest of your brights
4 -3 3 4 3 4 3 -4 4
Down at the house, the house of blue lights

2 3 -3 4 -3 3 4 -3 2
We’ll have a time and we’ll cut some rug
2 3 4 4 4
While we dig those tunes
-3 3 4 -3 2
like they should be dug
-2 3 -3 4 -5 5 -5 -5* 5 -5
It’s a real home com-in’ for all the “Cats”
-5* 6 5 3 -2* -2 -1* 2 4 -3
Just tril-ly down a path of wel-come mats
3 -3* -3 3 3 -5 -3* 3
Fall in there and we’ll see some sights
3 -3 4…3 -4 4
At the house of blue lights

-3 2 -3 -3 2 -3
There’s fry-ers and broil-ers
-3 2 -3 2 3 -3 4
and De-troit bar-be-cue ribs
-5* 5 -5* 5 -5* -5
But the treat of the treats
4 -3 3 4 4
Is when they serve you
-3 3 4 -3* 3
all those fine eight beats
3 -3 3 -5 3 -3* 3 -3* -3
You’ll want to spend the rest of your brights
4 -3 3 4 3 4 3 -4 4
Down at the house, the house of blue lights
