"This is the Way to Build a House"

(Sing to the tune of "This is the Way We Wash Our Clothes")

This is the way to build a house, build a house, build a house.

This is the way to build a house each and every day.

This is the way to clear the land, clear the land, clear the land.

This is the way to clear the land with the big bulldozer.

This is the way to pour the floor, pour the floor, pour the floor.

This is the way to pour the floor with concrete that will harden.

This is the way to put up the walls, put up the walls, put up the walls.

This is the way to put up the walls with sturdy 2 x 4s.

Now we must put the roof on tight, the roof on tight, the roof on tight.

Now we must put the roof on tight to keep the rain away.

This is the way the pipe must fit, pipe must fit, pipe must fit.

This is the way the pipe must fit so water can come in.

This is the way we string the wire, string the wire, string the wire.

This is the way we string the wire to start the electricity.

Now we need the windows and doors,

windows and doors, windows and doors.

Now we need the windows and doors to keep us locked in tight.

All we need to do is paint, to do is paint, to do is paint.

All we need to do is paint to make the house look bright.

Do you see our job is done, job is done, job is done?

Do you see our job is done? Our house is now all built.
