We've laid the cables and the wires

      C
We've split the wood and stoked the fires

      C                          
We've lit our town so there is no

F
Place for crime to hide

           Dm
Our little church is painted white

           G

We all go quiet as a mouse

For the word is out

But we need them of course

For God is in the house

Our town is very pretty

We have a pretty little square

Our policy is firm but fair

C
Well-meaning little therapists

C
Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Teetotallitarianists

The tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed

We got no time for that stuff here

     Dm
Zero crime and no fear

           G
We've bred all our kittens white

           G
So you can see them in the night

       G
And at night we're on our knees

   G
As quiet as a mouse

          G
Since the word got out

         C
From the North down to the South

    C
For no one's left in doubt

           C
There's no fear about

      C
If we all hold hands and very quietly shout

     C
Hallelujah
[Chorus 4]
F
God is in the house

              Dm
God is in the house

                         G
Oh, I wish He would come out

              C
God is in the house
