Lyrics

Robert robert robert
Down at the halfway house house
Robert down at the halfway house
He's livin' at the halfway house
The halfway house
You know the halfway house
It's got a ???
They put a cross on your back and you get real mean
Down at the halfway house
Robert (ha ha) at the halfway house
He's got a cross on your back
He's got roller skates and the're hitched up to his feet
He goes right down the street on the roller skates
They're from the halfway house
Ya' know this man robert
He's no man he ain't no mouse
He's from the halfway house
Tell him he's from the halfway house
Now the doctor says good morning
And robert looked up 'n he had blisters on his fingers
And the doctor said "robert, robert" he said "robert"
"You are not the halfway house, the halfway house"
He's robert from the halfway house
