Lincoln
To Build a House
Brick and mortar, pound a penny nail
Lime, too, water use a shoveling pail
Crowbar, level, turn a drywall screw
It's a piece of cake if you know what to do

A roll of tar paper and a mason's bit
A bucket of spackel and a little spit
Plum bob steady pour some carpenter's glue
It's as easy as pie if you know what to do

An honest day's work for an honest day's pay
You're bound to get dirty when you're making hay

Under one roof with your children and spouse
It's a labor of love when you're build a house
Under one roof with your children and spouse
It's a labor of love when you're build a house

Chalk line powder and a saber tooth saw
Number five pencil and a hammer claw
A ten-foot ladder of of four-by-two
It's as easy as one, two, three to do

An honest day's work for an honest day's pay
You're bound to get dirty when you're making hay

Under one roof with your children and spouse
It's a labor of love when you're build a house
Under one roof with your children and spouse
It's a labor of love when you're build a house
