Father wears his Sunday best  - …         [Verse]

Mother's tired, she needs a rest      ╔═════════╗

The kids are playing up downstairs    ║   Our   ║

Sister's sighing in her sleep - (Ohohoh) House  ║

Brother's got a date to keep          ║ Madness ║

He can't hang around                  ╚═════════╝

                           [Chorus #1] F Cm Gm Bbm

(Our house - In the middle of our (street/…) x2)

Our house, it has a crowd - …

There's always something happening   [Intro] (x3)

And it's usually quite loud           D#  D#  Bbm Bbm

Our mum, she's so house-proud   - …   Fm Fm G#m G#m

Nothing ever slows her down

And a mess is not allowed             [Chorus #1]

                                      [Chorus #2]

Father gets up late for work    - …  D Am Em Gm

Mother has to iron his shirt

Then she sends the kids to school     [Link] (x2)

Sees them off with a small kiss - …    Bb Am C Dm

She's the one they're going to miss  [Intro] (x2)

In lots of ways                       [Chorus #1]

I remember way back then when         [Middle 8

    everything was true and when           Intro]

We would have such a very good time

Such a fine time - Such a happy time

And I remember how we'd play, simply waste the

    day away - Then we'd say nothing would come

Between us   - Two dreamers

                                 [Chorus #1] (x4)

[Verse] [Chorus #1-2] (street)    (D# Bbm Fm G#m x2)

()                                (F Cm Gm Bbm x2)

       (Was our castle and our keep/(street)/

        That was where we used to sleep/(street))
