This Old House
This old House
__________________________
This old house, clinks and clanks
some things are broke, and then some aint
Fix it up before it breaks
this old house.
Could be made of stone, or even mudd
but still, it would make a thudd
if the heater breaks, it could flood
this old house.
The boards are a little thin,
they creak now and again
the cracks, let the sunlight in
this old house.
It might be just a little old,
but worth repair for stories told
to keep us warm, from the cold
this old house.
If it stands, we'll pass it on
to our kids, who are grown
with a repair list of their own
this old house.
