John L’s House Rent Boogie Full Lyrics
Hey, it's the house rent boogie
I come home last Friday
Talk to the woman that I lost my job
She says, "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
Yes, yes
Come here now y'all, right 'cross the street here
Help me get this rent together
Some give me a nickel and some give me a dime
I'm tired of keepin' this movin' every night
I can't hold out much longer
Now I got this rent
Now let's get together, y'all
Let's have a ball
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, boogie
