You’re Always Welcome at Our House / Roll On, Columbia, Roll On (Reprise)
--- You're Always Welcome at Our House ---

[Intro]
You know this has been a fun party
And you've been a great group of people to be with this evening
And to show our appreciation, we'd like to sing this next song
It's sort of an invitation

[Verse 1]
Well, a man came to our house
To our house, to our house
A man came to our house to sell some brooms
So we asked him to come in
And we hit him with a hammer
And we put him in the closet in my father's room

[Verse 2]
And a lady came to our house
Our house, our house
A lady came to see why I wasn't in school
So we asked her to come in
And wе fed her some poisonеd lemonade
And put her in the freezer where it's nice and cool

[Chorus]
But you're always welcome at our house
Any time of the day
You're always welcome at our house
And we hope you can stay
[Verse 3]
A boy came into our yard
Our yard, our yard
A boy came into our yard to get his ball
So we asked him to come in
And shot him with a .22
And sealed him up inside the basement wall

[Verse 4]
So you come to our house
Our house, our house
If you come to our house we'll have some fun
We'll take you to the kitchen
And we'll give you milk and cookies
Put you in the oven until you're done

[Chorus]
But you're always welcome at our house
At our house, at our house
Yes, it's always open house at our house
And we hope you can stay

[Outro]
You come up and see us sometime

--- Roll On, Columbia, Roll On (reprise) ---
[Chorus]
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Columbia, roll on

(Sing it again)

[Chorus]
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Columbia, roll on

(Let's do it one more time)

[Outro]
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
