LYRICS

Well, there's a leak in this old building

Yes, there's a leak in this old building

Well, there's a leak in this old building

We're gonna move to a better home

We got no pane in this old window

We got no pane in this old window

We got no pane in this old window

We're gonna move to a better home

Well, there's a hole in the roof where the rain pours in

A hole in the floor where it drops right out again

Well, there's a leak in this old building

Well, there's a leak in this old building

Well, there's a leak in this old building

We're gonna move to a better home

Well, there's a crack across the ceiling

Yes, there's a crack across the ceiling

Well, there's a crack across the ceiling

We're gonna find us a better home

We've gotta stove without a chimney

We've gotta stove without a chimney

What good's a stove without a chimney?

We're gonna move to a better home

Pulling down window shades is no use at all

The kids and the neighbor can peep right through the wall

Well, there's a leak in this old building

Well, there's a leak in this old building

Well, there's a leak in this old building

We're gonna move to a better, move to a better, move to a better home
