House of Blue Lights
Gary Haggerty, of the Berklee College of Music, informs me that The House of Blue Lights was a Chicago after hours club. It was connected to the El Grotto (owned by Earl Hines) at the Pershing Hotel in the mid-1940’s.

The song, “House of Blue Lights”, words and music by Freddie Slack and Don Raye, (1947), gives some idea of what, generaically, a house of blue lights is:

Lace up your boots and we’ll broom on down
To a knocked out shack on the edge of town
There’s an eight beat combo that just won’t quit
Keep walkin’ ‘til you see a blue light lit
Fall in there and we’ll see some sights
At the house of blue lights

chorus
There’s fryers and broilers and Detroit barbeque ribs
But the treat of the treats is when they serve you all those fine eight beats
You’ll want to spend the rest of your nights
Down at the house, The house of blue lights

We’ll have a time and we’ll cut some rug
While we dig those tunes like they should be dug
It’s a real home comin’ for all the “Cats”
Just trilly down a path of welcome mats
Fall in there and we’ll see some sights
At the house of blue lights
