Old House from Alta Loma by Kelly Jones

We got crowbars and big sledgehammers
For taking down the doors, ceilings and the floors
And shovels with strong wheelbarrows
We're fixing up the Old House

We look ragged, saw-tooth jagged
Our clothes are outta style, we haven't worn them in a while
But no one's starin', we don't care about what we're wearing'
Just fixing up the Old House

So one by one we pull the nails out of the walls
Two by two we pull the trash outside from the rooms, from the halls
All for our sister and our brother
Gonna work real hard in the rain or under cover
And if we're lucky we just might get to know each other

Oooo while we're fixing up the Old House
Oooooo while we're fixing up the house….

There's trouble we gotta get to on the double
This floor is like a sea wave, take a miracle just to save it
But we're gonna give it all we can give it
'Cause we wanna fix this Old House

So one by one we pull the boards up from the floor
Two by two we push the trash aside so we can see a little more
All for our sister and our brother
Gonna work real hard in the rain or under cover
And if we're lucky we just might learn to love each other

Oooo while we're fixing up the Old House
Oooo while we're fixing up the Old House
