This Old House
This old House once knew
Children
This old House once knew a Wife
This old House was Home and Comfort
As we fought this stormy Life
This old House once rang with Laughter
This old House heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
While the Lightning walks about
Ain't gonna need this House no longer
Ain't gonna need this House no more
Ain't got time to fix the Shingles
Ain't got time to fix the Floor
Ain't a got time to oil the Hinges
Nor to mend no Window Pain
Ain't a gonna need this House no longer
She's a getting ready to meet the Sale
Yeah
This old House is gettin' shaky
This old House is gettin' old
This old House lets in the Rain
And this old House lets in the Cold
Oh but my Knees are gettin' chilly
But I feel no Fear no Pain
Guess I see an Angel peepin'
Through the broken Window Pane
Ain't gonna need this House no longer
Ain't gonna need this House no more
Ain't got time to fix the Shingles
Ain't got time to fix the Floor
Ain't got time to oil the Hinges
Nor to mend no Window Pain
Ain't a gonna need this House no longer
She's a getting ready to meet the Sale

This old House's afraid of Thunder
This old House's afraid of Storms
This old House just groans and trembles
When the Night flings out it's Arms
This old House is
getting feeble
This old House is in need of Paint
Just like me it's tuckered out, Boy
Now we're getting ready to meet the Sale
Ain't gonna need this
House no longer
Ain't gonna need this House no more
Ain't got time to fix the Shingles
Ain't got time to fix the Floor
Ain't a got time to oil the Hinges
Nor to mend no Window Pain
Ain't a gonna need this House no longer
She's a getting ready to meet the Sale
Ain't gonna need this
House no longer
Ain't a gonna need this House no more
Ain't got time to fix the Shingles
Ain't a got time to fix the Floor
Ain't got time to oil the Hinges
Nor mend no Window Pain
Ain't a gonna need this House no longer
She's a getting ready to meet the Sale
Yeah
