       God Is In The Bouse

   Intro: C F Dm G C

         C
  We've laid the cables and the wires
  We've split the wood and stoked the fires
                         F
  We've lit our town so there is no
  Place for crime to hide
               Dm
  Our little church is painted white
              G
  And in the safety of the night
  We all go quiet as a mouse
  For the word is out
   C
  God is in the house
         F
  God is in the house
                 Dm
  God is in the house
             G
  No cause for worry now
         C
  God is in the house

Moral sneaks in the White Bouse
Computer geeks in the school house
Drug freaks in the crack house
We don't have that stuff here
We have a tiny little Force
But we need them of course
For the kittens in the trees
And at night we are on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
For God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
And no one's left in doubt
God is in the house

Bomos roaming the streets in packs
Queer bashers with tyre-jacks
Lesbian counter-attacks
That stuff is for the big cities
Our town is very pretty
We have a pretty little square
We have a woman for a mayor
Our policy is firm but fair
Now that God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
Any day now Be'll come out
God is in the house

Well-meaning little therapists
Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Tetotalltarianists
The tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed
We got no time for that stuff here
Zero crime and no fear
We've bred all our kittens white
So you can see them in the night
And at night we're on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
Since the word got out
From the North down to the South
For no-one's left in doubt
There's no fear about
If we all hold hands and very quietly shout
Ballelujah
God is in the house
God is in the house
Oh I wish Be would come out
God is in the house
