"The House" lyrics

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...
