Well there's a house on the corner that's yellow   And nobody lives inside   I think somebody tried to sell it   Oh, but nobody wanted to buy      So in come mean old winter   And in come father time   And in come the bad old summer   And nothing else here rhymes      Chorus:   Because the animals run the house   The animals run the house   I said the animals run the house   I said the animals run the house      You know the postman come by   And he said "Man, I'm leavin'"   The meter man went inside   And he just ran out screamin'      Crazy mary said "Let's go drink a beer, man"   I said "Nah, nah I don't wanna go in there"   I said "It don't feel right man,   It feels it's some kind of sin, now"      Chorus      And then a cat walked up to me, man   And he looked at me and he said "Meow"   And the dog cam up and he looked and me and he went "Rrrrr"   And deep down, they were whisperin', man   Behind their little eyes, they were sayin'...   They were sayin'...      Free:   "Well, come in ant and mouse   Come in dog and monkey   Come in, oh man   It may seem unresolved and funky   You may feel all wrong   Man, you may feel all wrong now"   And they said, "Vic, if you do   It's 'cause you don't belong, now"      Chorus      Free:   And then all of a sudden, man   I started thinkin' to myself, man   Oh, things seem strange in there, they seem wrong   Nobody's payin' taxes in there, man   Nobody's got electric   Nobody's watchin' the TV set, man   Everything's, like...   There ain't no floors, man, that's just dirt   The walls are all grimy   It's almost like...   Nature, or something, in there man      And there were snakes in the floor   There were earthworms in the couch   There was amoebas on the bed   There was... There was... On the doorknob      There were spiders in the walls   There was rats on in the bed   There was a lemur in the old TV set   And there's a big bullfrog in the head   And there's a big bullfrog in the head   And there's a big bullfrog in the head   And there's a big bullfrog in the head      Chorus (Etc.)
