Perfect lady housewife her totally detached
Sepulcher is painted white it's antique suite unscratched
A veritable show case it shines like a new pin
Everything is in its place
And there's a place for everything, everything
A, B, C, D
That's the way it's gotta be, hey
1, 2, 3, 4
Count them up and know the score
Foot upon the parquet makes her awfully vexed
Onset of vile anarchy oh Lord, whatever's next
Messiness is no excuse it's showing no respect
Random factor introduced
Just goes and spoils the whole effect
A, B, C, D
That's the way it's gotta be, yeah
1, 2, 3, 4
Count them up and know the score
Efficient official his patience overtaxed
Don't these people know that rules can never be relaxed
He could be humanized, you would never imagine
Everyone is categorized
And there's a place for everything
A, B, C, D
That's the way it's gotta be, yeah
1, 2, 3, 4
Count them up and know the score
Come on the floor
D, C, B, A
You can read it anyway, yeah
1, 2, 3, 4
Count them up and know the score
Get down the score
A, B, C, D
That's the way it's gotta be, yeah
Gotta be
