We Had to Go Home

by The Verve Pipe

on A Family Album (2009)

Bella had a big time birthday party
Mom said I could take my best friend Marty
She said "Mind your manners don't you be a smarty,
Or else you'll have to go home."

Carrie said she'd kiss me if I caught her
Tammy showed a trick her sister taught her
Barry filled up big balloons with water
That's when we had to go home

We had to go home
We departed once the real party started
We had to go home
That's when we had to go home

Zelda swore the zoo was bringing zebras
Sarah said to stick around and see 'em
Randy raved he'll get some reigns and ride 'em
That's when we had to go home

We had to go home
We had to go home
That's when we had to go home

We knew we'd get a lickin' when we
Started playin' chicken
Terry fried to turn but over corrects
And Sammy had to spoil it flushed a
Towel down the toilet
And we were in it up to our necks

Someone called my mom to come and get me
Betty said goodbye, she's gonna miss me
She puckered up her lips and went to kiss me
I can't 'cause I gotta go home

We departed once the real party started
We had to go home
Why did we have to go home

Mom! I didn't do nothing...

We departed when the real party started
We departed when the real party started
