Peter, Paul and Mary — The House Song

[Verse 1] This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning And taken off the market in the afternoon You can buy a piece of it if you want to It's been good to me if it's been good for you [Verse 2] Take the grand look now the fire is burning Is that your reflection on the wall? I can show you this room and some others If you came to see the house at all [Verse 3] Careful up the stairs, a few are missing (Missing) I haven't had the time to make repairs First step is the hardest one to master The last one I'm not really sure is there [Verse 4] This room here once had childish laughter And I come back to hear it now and again I can't say that I'm certain what you're after But in this room, a part of you will remain (Will remain) [Verse 5] Second floor, the lady sleeps in waiting Past the lantern, tiptoe in its glance In the room the soft brown arms of shadow This room the hardest one to pass [Verse 6] How much will you pay to live in the attic? (How much will you pay?) The shavings off your mind are the only rent I left some would there if you thought you couldn't Or if the shouldn't that you've bought has been spent [Verse 7] This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning And taken off the market in the afternoon You can buy a piece of it if you want to It's been good for me if it's been good for you
