35 Laurel Drive - MC Lars

John Thatcher Longley: Yo!

Lars: John.

JTL: What’s up?

Lars: Yo, I’m going to put the song about your house on The album.

Is that cool?

JTL: Uh… Yeah, I just don’t want to have any, like,

Stalkers knowing my name, like my full name.

Do you think it’s cool?

Lars: We’ll keep it on the DL.

We’re going to spell it In the lyrics different than it is.

JTL: Alright, that’s cool, yeah, whatever.

My drummer has the messiest house in New Jersey

My drummer has the messiest house in New Jersey

CHORUS

John Thatcher Longley — clean up your house

John Thatcher Longley — clean up your house

My drummer has the messiest house in New Jersey

My drummer has the messiest house in New Jersey

My drummer has a messy house

And that is what this song’s about

As I write these rhymes I’m starting to doubt

This kid will ever take the garbage out

The living room is full of cans

The ping-pong table barely stands

I guess he’s too busy with other demands

Like Game Cube and listening to pop punk bands

There’s pizza boxes stacked in the living room

No mops, no brooms, and no vacuums

Open the fridge and you might see

Half a Mr. Pibb and some moldy cheese

Upstairs the toilet barely works

That’s just one of the many perks

Last time it took me half an hour

To figure out how to work his upstairs shower

CHORUS

His house makes me think about

All the things in life you can live without

LIke Internet, pens, tables and chairs

There’s mail stacked randomly on the stairs

The bathroom door’s falling off

I went to the attic and started to cough

But every time a tour rolls by, you know we’ll stay at Laurel Drive

CHORUS

John Thatcher Longley — clean up your house

John Thatcher Longley — clean up your house

John Thatcher Longley — clean up your house

John Thatcher Longley — clean up your house

Lars: I mean, does it make you mad at all?

JTL: No, no, I think it’s hilarious.

Lars: Alright cool, I just wanted to make sure it was

Cool.

My drummer has a messy house,

And that is what this song’s about.
