"it doesn't help matters when prime time tv

Has murphy brown. i know it's not fashionable

To talk about moral values, but we need to do it..."

It started on a labor day

A chance for us to get away

Everyone in the house

And year by year things moved around

But everybody still got down in the house

And seldom do we have a plan

But everybody lends a hand

Everyone in the house

Making sure we have our fun

While gettin' done what must be done in the house



Pardon me, did you say something?

What are you looking at?

Tell me, what's your problem?

Are you counting heads?

Are you counting things?

What are you looking for?

Listen there's no problem



'cause we got them, we already got them

We got family values



"some people say judeo-christian values are code

Words. well they are code words. code words for..."

Politics and money scams

Endless verbal traffic jams

Keep it out of the house

'cause you'll get what you give to me

A little r-e-s-p-e-c-t in the house

'cause you know some of us have been around

And some of us still get around

But we all in the house

So don't get on our evil side

'cause we like it rough and we're nationwide



Pardon me, did you say something?

We're all entitled to have our own opinion

And you're standing there like you smelled something

But you're entitled to even bad opinions



"many of our generation glamorize

Casual sex and drug use, evaded responsibility,

And trashed authority."



We gonna have a good time everybody

Because the family is all in the house!



"our policy must be premised on, it must reinforce

Values such as family, hard work, integrity,

Personal responsibility..."

Made him love mom

Saw what that did to him

Made him love dad

Saw what that did to him

Made him love god

Saw what that did to him

Made him love death

Saw what that did to him



"i know it's not fashionable

To talk about moral values..."

Shut up!
