House 4

The House 4 Blues

By Jonothan Schulman

To the Tune of "She's a Woman" (Smoky Joe's Cafe)

He could stare ya down, cause all your chess pieces to shake
He had the most crushing hands in all of White Lake
If ya spoke a little Hebrew, he'd give ya candy galore
But when pounding his fists in, you'd better be listenin' to the King of House 4!

Chorus:
He had the House 4 Blues
Oh yeah, he's a man you couldn't ignore
Abe was in "Who's Who"
And he was also in House 4

She could swim a mile and a half before all was said and done
Wash dishes, clean clothes, make lunch and still have time to sun
Light Shabbas candles as the kids stood by and sang
She really knew just how to bring in Shabbat with a bang!

Chorus:
She's got the House 4 Blues
She's an Aunt we adore
Essie's in 'da House
The one with 4 on the door

He will get up early, make a bee-line for the woods
Hed stay 'til midnight -- fill his tube socks if he could
Pick all the bushes 'til the birds broke down and cried
With barely one swipe, he can tell if it's ripe
And I'll tell you why

Chorus:
He's got the House 4 Blues
Steve's got the Huckleberry Blues, for sure
He'll make you pay your dues
Just make your check out to House 4

Using only the finest berries in White Lake
Rich and sweetly flavored pies she does make
When it comes to crossword puzzles, she's a whiz
She makes White Lake at night the very funnest place there is

Chorus:
She's got the House 4 Blues
Carol's singin' Blues of House 4
When she married Stevie
She didn't know what she was in for!

They will look for chocolate in any container that they find
They're always in heaven when, twenty-four-seven, Candy Cone is on their mind
But not a cooler couple in White Lake will there be
You're always invited to take a small bite of some chocolate cake for free

Chorus:
They've got the House 4 Blues
Shelly and Mark used to wear wooden clog shoes
They married in '82
That's how the House 4 family grew

Jonah and Raya were born not too long ago
Before they could even walk, Mark taught 'em how to throw
Though they're second cousins, they'll always be first place to me
As long as they keep rooting for the New York Yankees!

Chorus:
They've got the House 4 Blues
Raya and Jonah wear pinstripes when they snooze
No, they can't lose
They got the House 4 Blues

We've had many great parties at the Lake these past few years
Shared dinner and some laughs over nonalcoholic beers
Swam and drove the motorboat with deft
And paddled to shore when we realized the tank had no gas left

Chorus:
I'm talkin' House 4 Blues
Jer, Sari, Gabs and Ginger are the finest four
No nicer family could I choose
Than the family from House 4

No nicer family could I choose
Than the family from House 4!!!! Oh Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh.
