The House That Jack Built
I knew a man named Jack, who built a little shack
A house you could call his home
When love came a-callin', pretty soon he was fallin'
And he didn't have to live alone
Well, her name was Jill and she made Jack feel
Like a king in a mansion on a hill
And for a while, they loved in style
Livin' in the house that Jack built
It was a red-brick shack on a country acre
Flower boxes in the windowsill
Picket fence, it was picture-perfect
Every room was filled with
Love, love, sweet, sweet love
Livin' in the house that Jack built
Well, along came Joe, he had a lotta dough
That he made from a moonshine still
And he caught Jill's eye, and it made Jack cry
Now Joe's livin' in the house that Jack built
It was a red-brick shack on a country acre
Flower boxes in the windowsill
Picket fence, it was picture-perfect
Every room was filled with
Love, love, sweet, sweet love
Livin' in the house that Jack built
Love, love, sweet, sweet love
Livin' in the house that Jack built
It was a red-brick shack on a country acre
Flower boxes in the windowsill
Picket fence, it was picture-perfect
Every room was filled with
Love, love, sweet, sweet love
Livin' in the house that Jack built
Now who's that guy in love with a girl
Livin' in the house that Jack built
A house you could call his home
When love came a-callin', pretty soon he was fallin'
And he didn't have to live alone
Well, her name was Jill and she made Jack feel
Like a king in a mansion on a hill
And for a while, they loved in style
Livin' in the house that Jack built
It was a red-brick shack on a country acre
Flower boxes in the windowsill
Picket fence, it was picture-perfect
Every room was filled with
Love, love, sweet, sweet love
Livin' in the house that Jack built
Well, along came Joe, he had a lotta dough
That he made from a moonshine still
And he caught Jill's eye, and it made Jack cry
Now Joe's livin' in the house that Jack built
It was a red-brick shack on a country acre
Flower boxes in the windowsill
Picket fence, it was picture-perfect
Every room was filled with
Love, love, sweet, sweet love
Livin' in the house that Jack built
Love, love, sweet, sweet love
Livin' in the house that Jack built
It was a red-brick shack on a country acre
Flower boxes in the windowsill
Picket fence, it was picture-perfect
Every room was filled with
Love, love, sweet, sweet love
Livin' in the house that Jack built
Now who's that guy in love with a girl
Livin' in the house that Jack built
