Our House Is Your House 1929

I've got the dearest Mum and Dad
it's possible to own,
they plod along together
just like Darby and his Joan.
The little house we live in,
well, you couldn't wish for more,
To ev'ry one that knows us
it's the ever open door;
so don't ask any questions
any time you're passing by,
pop in, you're always welcome,
I'll tell you the reason why.

Our house is your house
whenever you like to call,
There's a smile from Dad
and dear old Ma,
we're only rough and ready
you must take us as we are;
Our house is your house
your company is all we care about,
there's welcome on the mat,
you can wipe your feet on that,
but you'll never wear the welcome out.

Our house is your house
whenever you like to call,
There's a smile from Dad
and dear old Ma,
we're only rough and ready
you must take us as we are;
Our house is your house
your company is all we care about,
there's welcome on the mat,
you can wipe your feet on that,
but you'll never wear the welcome out.

The moment that you get inside
we never make a fuss,
so just take it for granted
that you're simply one of us.
There's plenty there of ev'rything
no need for you to roam,
the only thing you've got to do
is make yourself at home;
There's plenty in the cupboard
if it's only bread and cheese,
come when you like,
go when you like
and do just as you please.

Our house is your house
whenever you like to call,
There's a smile from Dad
and dear old Ma,
we're only rough and ready
you must take us as we are;
Our house is your house
your company is all we care about,
there's welcome on the mat,
you can wipe your feet on that,
but you'll never wear the welcome out.

Our house is your house
whenever you like to call,
There's a smile from Dad
and dear old Ma,
we're only rough and ready
you must take us as we are;
Our house is your house
your company is all we care about,
there's welcome on the mat,
you can wipe your feet on that,
but you'll never wear the welcome out.
