It was somewhere in the suburbs of Philadelphia A house was gutted, added onto six times its weight About a week to go until the move-in date And everybody runnin' in a six-day race There was bangin', there was buzzin' Everybody on their knees Running behind, everyone can agree Yet four o'clock arrived and someone brought back a case And the power went out in the whole damn place
