In My House Lyrics

in my house my very fine house rats were nesting in the walls so i chipped off the plaster and lath, and now all those rats have gone and there are no walls in my house my house my very fine house in my house my very fine house a litter of kittens lived under the floor so i took up the carpets and tore up the boards and i drowned them kittens now there are no floors in my house my house my very fine house in my house my very fine house there was a possum in the chimney breast so i dug out the mortar and the bricks and the rest and i ate that possum now there?s no chimney left in my house my house my very fine house in my house my very fine house there were pigeons up in the loft so i got on the roof and took the tar paper off now the pigeons have flown and i see stars above in my house my house my very fine house in my house my very fine house there?s a lover who lives with me i tried once to get her out she said ?darling i?ll leave you but i?m taking the house your house your house your very fine house?
