Lyrics

Keep a-knocking, but you can't come in

Keep a-knocking, but you can't come in

Keep a-knocking, but you can't come in

Come back tomorrow night and try again

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I know you've been drinkin' gin

You've been cheatin' 'round with other men

I'm busy, and you can't come in
