Red House Theme
Rhett And Link Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't we all just get along?
At the red house, we all can!
At the red house
I'm richard aka big head and I work at the red house and I'm black
(At the red house)
I like pumping iron and pumping furniture into people's homes
I'm johnny aka t-engage. I work at the red house and I'm white
I like deer hunting, bass fishing and extending credit to old people
(At the red house)
I'm black and I love the red house
I'm white and I love the red house
I'm a black woman and I love the red house
I'm white and the red house is for me
(At the red house)
Look at this sofa. its perfect for a black person or a white person
This mattress is perfect for a white person or a black person




At the red house, where black people and white people buy furniture
And hispanic people too. And all people

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rhett and Link's song "Red House Theme" seem to promote the idea of unity in diversity. The opening lines question why people can't just get along, but then the chorus responses by saying that they can at the red house. The red house is presented as a place where people of different races and backgrounds can come together and feel welcome. The two characters introduced in the song, Richard (also known as Big Head) and Johnny (also known as T-Engage), are described by their job and ethnicity, respectively. Richard says he likes pumping furniture into people's homes and pumping iron, while Johnny likes hunting, fishing, and extending credit to old people. However, their differences don't keep them from loving the red house.


The song then goes on to describe how the red house has furniture that can appeal to people of all races, with a sofa that's perfect for black or white people and a mattress that's perfect for white or black people. The final lines of the song emphasize that the red house is for all people, including Hispanic people. Overall, the song is a celebration of inclusivity and a reminder that people can get along despite their differences.
