lyrics

WELL C’MON EVERYBODY WE GOT SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
RICH OR POOR OLD OR YOUNG THIS IS THE HOUSE OF HAVING FUN
WE GOT NO INHIBITIONS AND TO HELL WITH TRADITION
WE’RE MAKING IT UP AS WE GO ALONG SO COME ON EVERYBODY

WE GOT A NEW WAY OF THINKING WE CAN GIVE YOU EVERYTHING
NOWHERE TO HIDE NOWHERE TO RUN
THIS IS THE HOUSE OF HAVING FUN

HAVEN’T I BEEN LUCKY I’VE BEEN ALLOWED TO SING
MY SONGS CAN SHOCK MY WORDS CAN STING BUT SOMETIMES THEY DON’T SAY ANYTHING
AND I FEEL LIKE A MYSTICAL MAN SELLING DREAMS FROM THE BACK OF A VAN
I’LL SAY IT AGAIN BECAUSE I CAN WELL COME ON EVERYBODY

NOTHING AND NO-ONE’S GONNA STAND IN OUR WAY
COS UNLIKE THE YOUNG GENERATION WE GOT NOTHING TO SAY

WE GOT A NEW WAY OF THINKING WE CAN GIVE YOU EVERYTHING
NOWHERE TO HIDE NOWHERE TO RUN THIS IS THE HOUSE OF HAVING……
