the house

we had the house where everybody came

we had the music

we played the games

and nobody's parents worried 'bout mine

my mother never left one child behind

live by the park where all the kids played

there was my dog in a superman cape

hop in the wagon

headed to the lake

hey it's your birthday

mother made a cake

this was the house where everybody hang

ask all my friends they'll tell you the same

was it the house or was it the gang

or a phenomenon no one can explain

the house

the house

my folks got divorced when i was like three

i understand they weren't meant to be

but dad got remarried and mom did too

to the father of a kid who went to my school

me and my brothers and my little sis

never saw mother happy like this

so we sold the house and moved into his

now 2 adults and 7 cool kids

this was the house where everybody grew

so much to see and every window

the band's in the basement putting on a show

the girls in the living room playing nintendo

the house

the house

3+4

come knock on my door

never the same kid you saw before

business out front

the party's back there

i'm talking about my house and not my brother's hair

we had the house where everybody came

we had the music we played the games

and nobody's parents worried 'bout mine

my mother never left one child behind

the house

the house

the house

the house

we had the house where everybody hang

ask all my friends they'll tell you the same

was it the house or was it the gang

or a phenomenon no one can explain?

the house.
