(Guitar solo Into)

Spoken:
Hey, it's the house rent boogie!

(Guitar solo)

I come home last Friday.
Tell it to the woman, I had lost my job.
See, that don't confront me.
An so I have my rent next Friday.
An next Friday come, I didn't have the rent.
An out the door I went.

(Guitar solo)
Umm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm.
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-hmm.

Yes, Yes!

(Guitar solo)

Come over here ya'all now.
Right 'cross the sreet, here.

Help me get this rent together.

Some give me a nickel
An some give me a dime.
Well, I'm tired of keepin' this movin' ev'ry night.
I can't hold out much longer.

Now I've got this rent.
Now let's get together, ya'all.
Let's have a ball.

(Guitar solo)

Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey.

Oooh boogie!

(Guitar solo to end)
