Rondo Brothers - 35 Laurel Drive lyrics

John Thatcher Longley: Yo! Lars: John JTL: What's up? Lars: Yo, I'm going to put the song about your house on the album. Is that cool? JTL: Uh… Yeah, I just don't want to have any, like, stalkers knowing my name, like my full name. Do you think it's cool? Lars: We'll keep it on the DL. We're going to spell it in the lyrics different than it is JTL: Alright, that's cool, yeah, whatever My drummer has the messiest house in New Jersey My drummer has the messiest house in New Jersey CHORUS John Thatcher Longley – clean up your house John Thatcher Longley – clean up your house My drummer has the messiest house in New Jersey My drummer has the messiest house in New Jersey My drummer has a messy house And that is what this song's about As I write these rhymes I'm starting to doubt This kid will ever take the garbage out The living room is full of cans The ping-pong table barely stands I guess he's too busy with other demands Like Game Cube and listening to pop punk bands There's pizza boxes stacked in the living room No mops, no brooms, and no vacuums Open the fridge and you might see Half a Mr. Pibb and some moldy cheese Upstairs the toilet barely works That's just one of the many perks Last time it took me half an hour To figure out how to work his upstairs shower CHORUS His house makes me think about All the things in life you can live without Like Internet, pens, tables and chairs There's mail stacked randomly on the stairs The bathroom door's falling off I went to the attic and started to cough But every time a tour rolls by, you know we'll stay at Laurel Drive CHORUS John Thatcher Longley – clean up your house John Thatcher Longley – clean up your house John Thatcher Longley – clean up your house John Thatcher Longley – clean up your house Lars: I mean, does it make you mad at all? JTL: No, no, I think it's hilarious Lars: Alright cool, I just wanted to make sure it was cool My drummer has a messy house And that is what this song's about
