 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
