Lyrics:

You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You've got to be clean
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
The door is locked on you, don't you know that it's true

When the Bridegroom cometh (cometh)
You've got to be ready
When the Bridegroom cometh (cometh)
You've got to be clean, don't you know its true?
There were ten brethrens together
Five were wise and five were foolish, foolish, foolish
Five were wise, five were foolish, foolish, five were foolish, foolish

So you keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You've got to be clean
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
The door is locked on you, don't you know that it's true

You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You've got to be clean
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
The door is locked on you, don't you know that it's true

The rolling stone gather no moss
Gathers no moss
The rolling stone gather no moss
Gather no moss
'Too late, too late' shall be your cry, shall be your cry


You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You've got to be clean to rally round the red, gold and green
Yeah, you keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
The door is locked on you

Mercy 'pon Jah Jah judgement come
Telling the world, Jah Jah judgement come
'Too late, too late' shall be your cry
Shall be your cry
Mercy 'pon Jah Jah judgement come
Telling the world, Jah Jah judgement come

You keep on knocking but you can't come in
Keep on knocking but you can't come in
You've got to be clean to enter, tell the whole wide world about it
So you keep on knocking but you can't come in
Keep on knocking but you can't come in
The door is locked on you over and over and over again

You keep on knocking but you can't come in
Keep on knocking but you can't come in
You've got to be clean to enter, him unlock the door, stay outside, stay outside
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
The door is locked on you
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You've got to be clean to rally round the red, gold and green
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
You keep on knocking but you can't come in
The door is locked on you
