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
