The House Is Moroccan

If you have weakness for bad puns like I do, you will find this poor mans mash-up of an ambivalent country western hit humorous. (With thanks to Alicia of Burbank and apologies to no one.)

Well, the house is Moroccan, don’t bother knockin
Yeah, the house is Moroccan, don’t bother knockin
If the house is Moroccan, 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 Moroccan, don’t bother knockin
Yeah, the house is Moroccan, don’t bother knockin
Yeah, the house is Moroccan, don’t bother come on in
Well, the house is Moroccan, don’t bother knockin
Yeah, the house is Moroccan, don’t bother knockin
Yeah, the house is Moroccan, 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 ave got nothin to lose
So get out on the floor shimmy til you shake sumpin loose
Well, the house is Moroccan, don’t bother knockin
Yeah, the house is Moroccan, don’t bother knockin
Yeah, the house is Moroccan, don’t bother come on in
I said the house is Moroccan, don’t bother come on in
