The House That Jack Built Songtext
von Adam Harvey

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
