The House that Jack Built lyrics
This is the house that Jack built.
This is the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the cat,
That chased the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the dog,
That worried the cat,
That chased the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the cow with the crumpled horn,
That scared the dog,
That worried the cat,
That chased the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That scared the dog,
That worried the cat,
That chased the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That scared the dog,
That worried the cat,
That chased the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That scared the dog,
That worried the cat,
That chased the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the rooster that crowed in the morn,
That waked the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That scared the dog,
That worried the cat,
That chased the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
