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 races ever round and round the garden
Spends the whole day sayin' 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 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 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 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 Festus writes a letter each and ev'ry single day
He believes that writin' letters keeps the Asian Flu away
I've got a reservation, I was 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 to the sky
I'm comin', I'm comin'
Please, save a place for me
Oh, I'm comin', oh, I'm comin', babe
Oh, I'm comin', babe
