A pox upon your house
[Verse 2]

Community college is waiting for them
[Chorus]

If even he can love you
Oh, this is where I live
A pox upon your house
Jesus is wondering
If even he can love you
Oh, this is where I live
A pox upon your house
[Instrumental Bridge]

Oh, this is where I live
A pox upon your house
Jesus is wondering
If even he can love you
A crossbill will never bow
A pox upon your house
