Well there's a house on the corner that's yellow And nobody lives inside I think somebody tried to sell it Oh, but nobody wanted to buy So in come mean old winter And in come father time And in come the bad old summer And nothing else here rhymes Chorus: Because the animals run the house The animals run the house I said the animals run the house I said the animals run the house You know the postman come by And he said "Man, I'm leavin'" The meter man went inside And he just ran out screamin' Crazy mary said "Let's go drink a beer, man" I said "Nah, nah I don't wanna go in there" I said "It don't feel right man It feels it's some kind of sin, now" Chorus And then a cat walked up to me, man And he looked at me and he said "Meow" And the dog cam up and he looked and me and he went "Rrrrr" And deep down, they were whisperin', man Behind their little eyes, they were sayin'... They were sayin'... Free: "Well, come in ant and mouse Come in dog and monkey Come in, oh man It may seem unresolved and funky You may feel all wrong Man, you may feel all wrong now" And they said, "Vic, if you do It's 'cause you don't belong, now" Chorus Free: And then all of a sudden, man I started thinkin' to myself, man Oh, things seem strange in there, they seem wrong Nobody's payin' taxes in there, man Nobody's got electric Nobody's watchin' the TV set, man Everything's, like... There ain't no floors, man, that's just dirt The walls are all grimy It's almost like... Nature, or something, in there man And there were snakes in the floor There were earthworms in the couch There was amoebas on the bed There was... There was... On the doorknob There were spiders in the walls There was rats on in the bed There was a lemur in the old TV set And there's a big bullfrog in the head And there's a big bullfrog in the head And there's a big bullfrog in the head And there's a big bullfrog in the head Chorus (Etc.)
