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 {x2}

Yesterday I found an earring
U know damn well it wasn't mine
This morning I found a hair in your sink
The long stringy kind
Pardon me 4 misleading
But my papa don't raise no fools
And if U don't wanna fail your lesson
U better stay after school

I think, I think U better
Get your house in order
Get your shoes on straight
Your tears can run like water
But they're just a little 2 little 2 late
House
U better get your house in order
Uh huh

See me call U 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 2 of U 2 go 2 H-E double L
And if U're feelin' froggy leap!

I think, I think U 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 2 little 2 late
House
Baby, get your house in order
House
Baby, get your house in order

Hear me knockin' on your window
U 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 2 keep U fat (Fat... no!)
I'd rather work 4 the undertaker
A dead man got more sense than U if U think that I'm gonna go 4 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 2 little 2 late
House in order
Better get your house in order (House in order)
House in order {x2}

Yeah
Blow it on me
Ooh, sounds right

Pardon me 4 misleadin'
But my papa didn't raise no fool
And if U don't want 2 fail your lesson
U better stay after school

I think, I think U better (I think U better)
Get your house in order
Get your shoes on straight
Your tears can run like water
But they're just a little 2 late, 2 late
House

(Get your house in order)
Get your, get your house in order
(Baby, get your house in order)
U better... (Get your house in order)
Get your shoes on straight
(Baby, get your house in order) {fade out}
U 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 2 late (Get your house in order
