What's He Building? |
| What’s he building in there? |
| What the hell is he building |
| In there? |
| He has subscriptions to those |
| Magazines… He never |
| Waves when he goes by He’s hiding something from |
| The rest of us… He’s all |
| To himself… I think I know |
| Why… He took down the |
| Tire swing from the Peppertree |
| He has no children of his |
| Own you see… He has no dog |
| And he has no friends and |
| His lawn is dying… and |
| What about all those packages |
| He sends. |
| What’s he building in there? |
| With that hook light |
| On the stairs. |
| What’s he building |
| In there… I’ll tell you one thing |
| He’s not building a playhouse for |
| The children what’s he building |
| In there? |
| Now what’s that sound from under the door? |
| He’s pounding nails into a Hardwood floor… and I Swear to god I heard someone |
| Moaning low… and I keep |
| Seeing the blue light of a |
| T.V. show… |
| He has a router |
| And a table saw… and you |
| Won’t believe what Mr. Sticha saw |
| There’s poison underneath the sink |
| Of course… But there’s also |
| Enough formaldehyde to choke |
| A horse… What’s he building |
| In there. |
| What the hell is he Building in there? |
| I heard he Has an ex-wife in some place |
| Called Mayors Income, Tennessee |
| And he used to have a consulting business in Indonesia… |
| but what is he building in there? |
| What the hell is building in there? |
| He has no friends |
| But he gets a lot of mail |
| I’ll bet he spent a little |
| Time in jail… |
| I heard he was up on the |
| Roof last night |
| Signaling with a flashlight |
| And what’s that tune he’s |
| Always whistling… |
| What’s he building in there? |
| What’s he building in there? |
| We have a right to know… |
