U remember when U have 2 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 {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
