Brother Nigel paints the stairs
with the signs of the Zodiac
Throws paint in the mirror
as he stands
in his plastic mac
Sister Emma rides a Zebra
'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 to the sky...
Uncle Joe cracks walnuts
in between his toes for fun
And he looks through
coloured glass at the
dark spots on the sun
And Mary she believes
that her mother was a Queen
Keeps saying
you just missed him
King Soloman'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 to 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 to the sky...
Cousin Festas writes a letter
each and every single day
He believes that writing letters
keeps the Asian flu away
I've got a reservation now
who's giving it for free
'Cos 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 to the sky...
I'm coming, I'm coming
Please save a place for me
Woah I'm coming, babe
Woah I'm coming, babe
Woah I'm coming, babe...
