lyrics

HOUSE WITHOUT WALLS

The houses are built without walls
The flowers grow forty feet tall
The roof in a breeze lifts over the trees
Be careful watch out where it falls

O, WE’RE ALL IN THE DUMPS
FOR DIAMONDS ARE TRUMPS
THE KITTENS ARE GONE TO SAINT PAULS
THE BABIES ARE BIT, THE MOON’S IN A FIT
AND THE HOUSES ARE BUILT WITHOUT WALLS

The houses are built without walls
The king never knocks when he calls
The ducks and the geese go wherever they please
Through the kitchen library and halls

CHORUS

The old black dogs are barking
the noises fill the air
The angels they are harking
The devils say beware
The sun, the moon, the shining stars
All glitter when you speak
Their light is shining down
On the strong and the week
