Let's build a house out of tin cans and car tires*
Make a plan and see it through
Sit on the front porch
And carve potato stamps
And print the daily news
You can hammer on your stump
Try to make a totum pole
You can give that stump life
You can give it a soul
I have a buffalo nickel
Whose lifetime has been long
It's passed hands so many times that
The buffalo has moved on
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
You can put it on the front porch
You can leave it out to dry
You can put it on the back burner, baby
You can leave it to die
There are a million people
Who pass through here on their way
It will take two centuries to undo what they do here today
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
You will turn it over
You will wear it through
You will put on the front porch
It's got a mind of it's own
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
Make a plan and see it through
Sit on the front porch
And carve potato stamps
And print the daily news
Try to make a totum pole
You can give that stump life
You can give it a soul
Whose lifetime has been long
It's passed hands so many times that
The buffalo has moved on
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
You can leave it out to dry
You can put it on the back burner, baby
You can leave it to die
Who pass through here on their way
It will take two centuries to undo what they do here today
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
You will wear it through
You will put on the front porch
It's got a mind of it's own
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone
Sometimes you'll find you can rhyme anything with anyone

Chuck:
"It" was a thorn in our collective side ever since "It" was born. From writing to performing, to pre-producing, tracking and even mixing. "It" was a constant source of aggravation. I hope that "It" was worth it all, just to get across the idea tha tjunk or everday stuff can get a 'soul' from being trashed, used, loved on, obsessed over and recycled towards a different state. 6.5 for pomposity. I can't help it. I love the singing in the choruses, however - sometimes you CAN polish a turd. Thanks a lot to John Alagia for being so patient.
