You call this a home?
Well for now I guess it will do
Chimney shakes as the door hinges ache
Roof crumbs in my tea
So please believe me
It's the best that we can do
Compared to what? A trash truck
With packing peanuts
Hey it could be worse
Oh my la la la
Oh my la la la
It's the apartment song
Oh my la
If you got to belong
The holes in the ceiling
Are nice on a sunny day
The landlord's not your lifeguard
Mistakes a break for a holiday
The metal workers in the living room
Are eating all my chips and
Keeping every light on
How come I'm fishing out the crumbs?
I'm not your mother but I'm sure
She never bothered with you
So please believe me
It's where I outta gotta be!
Do we even have a front door (I don't know)?
Why is the mailbox filled with rocks?
Oh my la la la
Oh my la la la
It's the apartment song
Oh my la
If you got to belong
As the floor goes
I just want you to know
We went out with a banged up smile
Though brief what a wonderful week
You're my friend till the end
Which is now
