The Lyrics
Let's put an ell onto
The house; a line
Of credit's what we'll use
For the buyin'
Of wood, like ply 'n'
Sturdy studs to stand stiff
And nails by the pound.
Let's wire in some bandwidth
So gland-stiffening files I'll load down.
Let's put an ell onto
The house; a line,
Straight line.
Hooked onto,
Hooked onto,
Hooked onto,
Hooked onto side of house
We'll put it there;
That's where you want it
And thus won't grouse.
So, honey,
We'll build the ell so you
Won't want to whine.
[fade on sound of construction]
The house; a line
Of credit's what we'll use
For the buyin'
Of wood, like ply 'n'
Sturdy studs to stand stiff
And nails by the pound.
Let's wire in some bandwidth
So gland-stiffening files I'll load down.
Let's put an ell onto
The house; a line,
Straight line.
Hooked onto,
Hooked onto,
Hooked onto,
Hooked onto side of house
We'll put it there;
That's where you want it
And thus won't grouse.
So, honey,
We'll build the ell so you
Won't want to whine.
