"Get in Line" is a song written (at least) by Steven Page and Ed Robertson for the King of the Hill soundtrack. It is performed by Canada-based rock group Barenaked Ladies along characters from the TV series featured in it.

Music video

Before the band plays, Dale tells the band's animated counterparts the following:

"Ah, sure I've been abducted. Heck, we've all been abducted. The trick is to keep them from reading your thoughts. I'll wear a hat and try to remain thoughtless at all times."

Throughout the music video, while the live-action band is playing, various members mess around with Dale's stuff.

Actually, there are two music videos: one with Hank, Bobby, Luanne, and Peggy in it, and one without them.

In either music video, at one point, in a wooden set, one of the members puts a jar full of ants up, and cough pink smoke when Dale sprays the ants.

Lyrics

Everywhere I go, someone's trying to be my girlfriend's best friend

I'm tryin' to pretend I'm relaxed, but I'm playin' castanets with my knees

I try to be cool and give her space,

But a guy's always there ready to jump right up and take my place

Everyone in this room seems to want to make a big fool outta me

HOOK

Everybody open your mouth (everybody, everybody)

Everybody just say ah (ah ah ah ah)

Everything will be alright if you play along

Everywhere I go, there's someone in a trench coat staring at me

And when I'm not at home, I'm sure someone's rummaging through my trash

What ever could they want from me?

Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy?

I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram-shaped rash

HOOK

Everybody open your mouth (everybody, everybody)

Everybody just say ah (ah ah ah)

Everything'll be alright, this won't hurt at all

Everybody get in line

Everybody turn and cough

Everything'll be alright if you just lay off

Dictate a memo to myself

Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health

Consult contemporaries if there are some to see

There really isn't anyone who's in my lane

Every night at a lane, someone thinks they've got a find beyond me

I try to take three deep breaths as I walk up to my minivan

Everyone says I'm lookin' great,

But it's hard to stand up let alone to try to concentrate

I wish that everyone that I knew hadn't sold out to the man

HOOK

Everybody open your mouth (everybody, everybody)

Everybody just say ah (ah ah ah ah)

Everything'll be alright, this won't hurt at all

Everybody get in line

Everybody turn and cough

Everything'll be alright if you just lay

Everything'll be alright if you just lay

Everything'll be alright if you just lay off
