you get a hammer and i'll get a nail
and you catch a bird and i'll catch a snail
you bring a board and i'll bring a saw
and we'll build a house for the baby-o
i'll grab some mud and you grab some clay
so when it rains it won't wash away
we'll build a house that'll be so strong
the winds will sing my baby a song
run bring rocks and i'll bring bricks
a nice pretty house we'll build and fix
we'll jump inside when the cold wind blows
and kiss our little baby-o
you bring a ladder and i'll get a box
build our house of bricks and blocks
when the snowbird flies and the honeybee comes
we'll feed our baby on honey in the comb
