Life with you and me,
I tell you, in my father's house,
Come just as you are,
To my father's house

There's music everywhere,
Well, well in my father's house
Food enough to spare
People have no fear

I tell you there ain't no signs of hate
In my father's house
Folks all integrate
In my father's house
Come and bring your mate
In my father's house, in my father's house
Oh come let's have a ball
In my father's house
Summer last to fall
In my father's house
Good times have we all
In my father's house
