Brother nigel paints the stairs
With the signs of the zodiac
Throws mink in the mirror
As he stands in his plastic bag
My sister emma rises ever round
And round the garden
Spends the whole day saying: I beg your pardon
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that jack built, baby
And it reaches up into the sky
Uncle joe cracks walnuts
In between his toes for fun
And looks through coloured glass
At the dark spots on the sun
And mary
She believes that her mother was a queen
Keep saying you just missed him
King solomon's just been
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that jack built, baby
And it reaches up into the sky
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that jack built, baby
And it reaches up into the sky
Cousin festus writes
A letter each and every single day
He believes that writing letters
Keeps the asian flew away
I got a reservation
Now it's given it for free
'cause I killed all the flies
In the state of tennessee
Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
It makes you wanna cry
This is the house that jack built, baby
And it reaches up into the sky
I'm coming
I'm coming
Please save a place for me
Oho, I'm coming, babe
Oho, I'm coming, babe
Oho, I'm coming, baby
