Build A Little Home 1933 Eddie Cantor 'Roman Scandals'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 05 Nov 2003

You'll always have a roof above you,
as long as there's a sky.
And if you have someone to love you,
You're sure of getting by.
You don't need a lot of log and stone,
Build a home on happiness alone.

With a thousand little stars,
We can decorate the ceiling,
with an optimistic feeling,
We can build a little home.
Ev'ry single little dream,
is a shingle or a rafter,
We can paint the house with laughter
When we build a little house.
It's not a palace,
nor a poor house,
But the rent is absolutely free.
This is my house, but it's your house,
If you'll come and live with me,
with a carpet on the floor,
Made of buttercups and clover;
All our troubles will be over,
When we build a little home.

We can build a little home,
I've no real estate to sell you,
All I want to do is tell you,
We can build a little home.
If the children want to play,
they can play away their childhood,
In a million acre wildwood,
When we build out little house.
We'll dine for hours
'mid the flowers,
Eating apples from the apple tree.
We'll take showers,
in the showers,
that the clouds bring from the sea;
When we want to go to sleep,
while the weary world reposes;
We can make a bed of roses,
When we build a little home.

I'm looking at a set of blueprints,
with which to build this home.
It's got a lot of new improvements,
the idea's all my own.
I've got plans no builder would suspect,
I'm a kinda diff'rent architect.

With a thousand little stars,
We can decorate the ceiling,
with an optimistic feeling,
We can build a little home.
Ev'ry single little dream,
is a shingle or a rafter,
We can paint the house with laughter
When we build a little house.
It's not a palace,
nor a poor house,
But the rent is absolutely free.
This is my house, but it's your house,
If you'll come and live with me,
with a carpet on the floor,
Made of buttercups and clover;
All our troubles will be over,
When we build a little home.

We can build a little home,
I've no real estate to sell you,
All I want to do is tell you,
We can build a little home.
If the children want to play,
they can play away their childhood,
In a million acre wildwood,
When we build out little house.
We'll dine for hours
'mid the flowers,
Eating apples from the apple tree.
We'll take showers,
in the showers,
that the clouds bring from the sea;
When we want to go to sleep,
while the weary world reposes;
We can make a bed of roses,
When we build a little home.
