Come to this house. Be one of the comfortable people.

Lovely bright home. We're drinking all night, never sleeping.
Milkman come in, and you baker.
Little old lady welcome, and you, shoemaker.
HORUS 1
Come to this house. Into this hou-------se.
repeat MIN RI
Come to this house. Be one of us.
repeat MIN RI
Make this your house. Be one of us.
You can help collect some more in.
Young and old people, let's get them all in.
HORUS 2
Come to this house. Into this hous--se.
RI
[Play this riff eight times. Actually, after the first time,
Pete plays Em, not E. Listen to the record.]
Ask along that man who's wearing a carnation.
Bring every single person from Victoria station.
Go into that hospital and bring the nurses and patients.
Everyone go home and fetch their relations.
Come to this house, be one of the comfortable people.
Lovely bright home, drinking all night, never sleeping.
INTRLU
(Spoken) "Excuse me sir, there's more at the door."
There's more at the door.
There's more at the door, there's more.
We need more room. Build an extension.
A colorful palace. Spare no expense now.
repeat MIN RI
Come to this house, be one of us.
repeat MIN RI
Come into this house, be one of us.
SOLO; 12 string
