This Ole House

This ole house once knew his children This ole house once new his wife This ole house was home and comfort As they fought the storms of life This ole house once rang with laughter This ole house heard many shouts Now he trembles in the darkness When the lightning walks about. (Ain't a 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 got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window panes Ain't gonna need this house no longer He's getting ready to meet his fate This ole house is getting shaky This ole house is getting old This ole house lets in the rain This ole house lets in the cold Oh his knees are a getting chilly But he feels no fear nor pain Cause he seeks a new tomorrow Through a golden window pain (Ain't a 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 got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window panes Ain't gonna need this house no longer He's getting ready to meet his fate This ole house is afraid of thunder This ole house is afraid of storms This ole house just groans and trembles When the night wind flings it arms This ole house is getting feeble This ole house is a needing paint Just like him it's tuckered out He's a getting ready to meet his fate (Ain't a 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 got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window panes Ain't gonna need this house no longer He's getting ready to meet his fate (Ain't a 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 got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window panes Ain't gonna need this house no longer He's getting ready to meet his fate (Ain't a gonna need this house no longer Ain't a gonna need this house no more) Ain't got time to fix the shingles
