You're in Trouble

Bill Harley

Lyrics:

When he got home
he walked into the kitchen
So hungry that his stomach hurt
There were cookies on the table, sign that read
"Don't touch, these are for dessert"
But he ate one,
and then he ate another
He meant to put the rest away
But it wasn't too long
before the cookies were gone
He heard a little voice
inside him say

CHORUS
You're in trouble, you're in trouble, you're in
trouble like you've never been in trouble before
When they find out, there is no doubt
You're in trouble like you've never been in trouble before

Well he'd never made cookies
but he thought that he could do it
He'd seen his mother do it before
Some flour and some sugar there was really nothin' to it
'Til he dropped the sugar jar on the floor
He took some eggs and chocolate and mixed it all together
He poured the goop onto the tray
His sister came in,
she broke into a grin
And this is what he heard her say

CHORUS

He turned the oven on
and he put the cookies in
He went to take a walk outside
He let them cook an hour,
he walked back up the stairs
He pulled the door open wide
Smoke came pouring out,
the smoke alarm was screaming
The fire truck roared down the street
His neighbor came over with her dog named Rover
And said in a voice so sweet

CHORUS

When his parents came home,
they hit the roof
They didn't think that it was funny at all
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
He was stuck inside all weekend
Just cleaning out the oven and washing down the
kitchen walls
He always will remember,
he never will forget
Whenever something seems to go wrong
There's always someone there to tell you,
someone there to yell at you, someone there to sing
you this song.

CHORUS
