lyrics

I’m workin’ on a new house
That’s what it’s all about
I’m workin’ on a new house
Can’t work on the old house

Got wrecked in a hurricane
When the geese were flyin’ south
So I’m workin’ on a new house
Think it’s better than the old house

I used to do work for hire
Settin’ everything on fire
If you needed anything burned down
I’d burn down this whole town

I specialized in bridges and old ships
Til’ they’d sink to the bottom of the sound
I’d do any work for hire
Even settin’ the woods on fire

Now I’m makin’ an aeroplane
Outta paper from a diary
Glued together with sweat and tears
From workin’ in a factory

I used to make gadgets and widgets
And heart-shaped candy treats
I’m makin’ an aeroplane
Outta paper from a diary

Blow your trumpet at the new moon
Take up a new melody
Start singin’ a different tune
Stop singin’ ‘bout you and me

Write a song about the secrets of crickets
Or the dish runnin’ ‘way with the spoon
But don’t sing about you and me
Blow your trumpet at the new moon

Stop singin’ ‘bout you and me
Blow your trumpet at the new moon
