Hurry on down to my house, baby,
Ain't nobody home but me!
Hurry on down to my house, baby,
I'm blue as I can be!

I love you and you love me,
Hurry through the alley so the neighbours won't see you!
Hurry on down to my house, baby,
Ain't nobody home but me!

Oh, hurry on down to my house, baby,
Ain't nobody home but me!
Hurry on down, baby,
I'm blue as I can be!

Momma's gone for the whole long date,
Think of it, honey, we'll have a long time to play it!
If you hurry on down,
Ain't nobody home but me!

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Ain't nobody home but me!
Hurry, hurry on down,
I'm blue as I can be!

The cuckoo in the clock is goin' tick tock tick,
Oh come on honey, quick quick quick!
Hurry on down, baby,
Ain't nobody home but me!

Hurry on down,
Ain't nobody home but me!
Hurry on down, baby,
I'm blue as I can be!

Please come down just as soon as you can;
If you can't, I'll have to call Sam!
He'll hurry on down,
Ain't nobody home but me!

Hurry, hurry,
Hurry, hurry hurry!
Hurry on down, baby,
I'm blue as I can be!

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
Oh come on honey, you must, you must!
Hurry on down, baby,
Ain't nobody home but me!

Hurry on down to my house, baby,
Ain't anybody home but me!
Haul you down, drag you down, any way you get down!
I'm blue as I can be!

I'm a-ready, get me Hillside 049,
Don't stop ringin' till I get my baby's line!
Yes today, haul it on down to my house, baby,
Ain't nobody home but only me,
There ain't nobody home but me!
