Darling, I found a bed
It's been torn in two
Darling, you keep half
And the other half you'll give to your lover
And the other half you'll give to your lover

Darling, I found a house
It's been burned right down
Burned to ash and bone
I'll let you clean this mess all by yourself
I'll let you clean this mess all by yourself

Honey, I found a dog
He's been soaked in mud
Soaked in children's love
Yes I'll help you wash this dog all right back off
Now I'll let you clean this mess all by yourself
And I'll help you make it over the best I can
Will you help me sew the bed up?
