1+1+1 Is 3

If you ain't got no place to stay
Come on baby 'round this way
Stay with me baby
But let me tell you how it's going to be

[Chorus]
There's a theocratic order
There's a theocratic order now

This is how it's going to be
If you want to be with me
Ain't no room for disagree
1+1+1 is 3
Take your time and think it trough
If this is what you want to do
I ain't really that hard to please
'Cause 1+1+1 is 3
Stroke your hair a hundred times
Let me see what I can find

[Chorus]
There's a theocratic order
There's a theocratic order now

The Banished Ones:
"We are the Banished Ones and we have come to dance
If you will not let us, we'll have to kick your pants!"

Who's that knocking on your door?
Didn't we throw you out before?
I'm about to get rowdy!
I'm about to get rowdy, now!
Make me want to do something
We could be surrounded in the palace
"Everybody wants to get you!"
I don't care
How many you all just came to dance?
Let me see you shake your pants
We don't give a duck what you got on
You just need too work that sexy body all nite long
Come on
Where them Banished Ones at?
"Said they around the back"
Don't cut them no slack
"I'm going to tap, tap, tap"
But should I keep this party going?
"Brother you know that!"
Moneyapolis, sing-Rainbow Children, raise your hands
If we can't do it, nobody can!

Here they come you all
Rally around the palace now
You know what we got to do!

How'd that fool get up in here?
