They Might Be Giants - The House At The Top Of The Tree lyrics

There's a house at the top of a tree

There's a house at the top of a tree

In the house there's a room

In the room there's a chair

And sitting in the chair is you

There's a nose at the end of a snout

Of a dog with his head out the window

Of a car that's driving away from the tree

And at the top of a tree there's a house

And in the house there's a room and in the room

There's a chair and in the chair is you

There's a plan to eat the house

In the mind of a mouse in the woods

And the mouse in the woods has a smell that's detected

By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog

And the dog has his head out the window of a car

And the car is driving away from the tree

And at the top of a tree there's a house

And in the house there's a room and in the room

There's a chair and in the chair is you

There are no more potato chips left

In the empty bag in your hand

And the crumpling sound of the empty bag

Makes the mice get mad

And when the mice get mad

It leads to a plan to eat the house

And the plan's in the mind of the mouse in the woods

And the mouse in the woods has a smell that's detected

By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog

And the dog has his head out the window of a car

And the car is driving away from the tree

And at the top of a tree there's a house

And in the house there's a room and in the room

There's a chair and in the chair is you

And the reason there are no more chips

In the empty bag in your hand

Is that the crumpling sound of the empty bag

Makes the mice get mad

Which leads to a plan

To eat the house

But just in time

The dog arrives

To give to the mouse

The potato chips

That you took from the bag

And gave to the dog

To deliver to the mouse

So the mouse would not eat you
