Shel Silverstein – You're Always Welcome At Our House lyrics

Well, a man came to our house
Our house
Our house
A man came to our our house
To sell some brooms
So we asked him to come in
And we hit him with a hammer
And we hid him in the closet
In my father's room

But you're always welcome at our house
Any time of the day
Yes
You're always welcome at our house
And we hope you will stay

Then a lady came to our house
Our house
Our house
A lady came to find out why I wasn't in school
So we asked her to come in
And we gave her some poisoned lemonade
And hid her in the freezer where it's nice and cool

But you're always welcome in our house
Any time of the day
Yes
You're always welcome at our house
And we hope you will stay

Then a kid came into our yard
Our yard
Our yard
A kid came into our yard to get his ball
We asked him to come in
And we took in the basement
And we sealed him up inside the basement wall

But you're always welcome in our house
Any time of the day
Yes
You're always welcome at our house
And we hope you will stay

So when you come to our house
Our house
Our house
When you come to our house
We'll have some fun
We'll ask you to come in
And we'll take you in the kitchen
And we'll put you in the oven until you're done

But you're always welcome in our house
Any time of the day
Yes
You're always welcome at our house
And we hope you will stay

And we know you will stay
