We had the house where everybody came
We had the music, we played the games
And nobody's parents worried 'bout much
My mother never left one child behind
Live by the park where all the kids play
That was my dog in a superman cape
Up and away, and head on to the lake
Hey, it's your birthday, Mother made a cake!
This was the house where everybody hanged
Ask all my friends; they'll tell you the same
So, was it the house or was it the gang
Or a phenomenon no one can explain?
The house (x2)
Folks got divorced when I was, like, three
I understand; they weren't meant to be
But Dad got remarried and Mum 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, two adults and seven cool kids
This was the house where everybody'd go
So much to see in every window
With the bands in the basement puttin' on a show
And the girls in the living room playin' Nintendo
The house (x2)
Three plus four, come knock on my door
Neither are the same kids you saw before
Business out front, the party's back there
I'm talkin' 'bout 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 much
My mother never left one child behind
The house (x4)
We had the house where everybody'd hang
Ask all my friends; they'll tell you the same
So, was it the house or was it the gang
Or a phenomenon no one can explain?
The house (x8)
We had the music, we played the games
And nobody's parents worried 'bout much
My mother never left one child behind
Live by the park where all the kids play
That was my dog in a superman cape
Up and away, and head on to the lake
Hey, it's your birthday, Mother made a cake!
