I'm gonna build you... a house!
I'm a man with two good hands, two good hands and a plot of land
And I'm on a mission, I've got a vision, I'm planning permission
I've got twenty-thousand bricks to lay
Honey I don't have a place to stay
I've just got this canvas tanned, and a machine to mix the cement
Do you think I've lost the plot?
I have not!
I've sheltered you from the rain
You and I will defy the elements again!
I need a home in which to revel
I need a place to keep my spirit level
And I know the right guys
'Cos I used to work in building supplies
Grafting a humble abode
Concrete and steel by the wheelbarrow load
Finished at two, who's gonna chop the barroos?
I've got a trowel and I ain't afraid to use it!
Do you think I've lost the plot?
I have not!
I've sheltered you from the rain
You and I will defy the elements again
Whooo!
