House In Order

You remember when you have to stay after school

And write on the board a hundred times

"I ain't doin' my homework, I ain't doin' my lesson"

(House!)

Give it up, give it up, give it

House in order

House in order

Yesterday I found an earring

You know damn well it wasn't mine

This morning I found a hair in your sink

The long stringy kind

Pardon me for misleading

But my papa don't raise no fools

And if you don't want to fail your lesson

You better stay after school

I think, I think you better

Get your house in order

Get your shoes on straight

Your tears can run like water

But they're just a little to little to late

House

You better get your house in order

Uh huh

See me call you on the phone

3 a.m. your line's engaged

See me wonderin' if U're all alone

See me go into a rage

Hear me knockin' on your window

Hear Muntana knee deep

Hear me tell the to of you to go to H-E double L

And if U're feelin' froggy leap!

I think, I think you better

Get your house in order

Get your shoes on straight

Your tears can run like water (Tears can run like water)

But they're just a little to little to late

House

Baby, get your house in order

House

Baby, get your house in order

Hear me knockin' on your window

You better... (Get your house in order)

(Baby, get your house in order)

Get your house in order

Don't mix me up with your money maker (Money maker)

I'd never work to keep you fat (Fat... no!)

I'd rather work for the undertaker

A dead man got more sense than you if you think that I'm gonna go for that

Better get your house in order (Get your house in order)

Better get your shoes on straight (Get your shoes on straight)

Your tears can run like water

But they're just a little to little to late

House in order

Better get your house in order (House in order)

House in order

House in order

Yeah

Blow it on me

Ooh, sounds right

Pardon me for misleadin'

But my papa didn't raise no fool

And if you don't want to fail your lesson

You better stay after school

I think, I think you better (I think you better)

Get your house in order

Get your shoes on straight

Your tears can run like water

But they're just a little to late, to late

House

(Get your house in order)

Get your, get your house in order

(Baby, get your house in order)

You better... (Get your house in order)

Get your shoes on straight

(Baby, get your house in order) {fade out}

You see, your tears don't mean, mean nothin'

(Baby, get your house in order)

Because your tears baby (Get your house in order)

Are way much to late (Get your house in order)
