The State House Song

          G                      D
        I live in a house in the suburbs,
                                        G
        With a fence and a small wooden gate.
                             C        Am
        The community is a division
           D                       G      D
        Of houses all built by the State, and...


        Ch:   
        ....I've got a house just like your house,
        You've got a house just like mine.
        It's a great house, it's a State House, and it's my house,
        And the Government Plan's mighty fine!

        The living-room windows are tiny,
        And through them the sun seldom falls.
        The ceilings are cream and the woodwork's brown
        And there's mirrors and ducks on the walls, and...

        The garage is used as a fowl-house,
        The floor's just seven feet wide.
        The car, she's a big station-wagon,
        We never could get it inside. We
        Must park it out on the roadway
        With a tarpaulin over its head.
        They forgot to put gates on the driveway -
        There's a brick fence across it instead, and...

        Electricity poses a problem
        That some time we've all had to meet:
        You just blow a fuse in you kitchen
        And the lights go off right down the street, and...

        5:
        Now I'm all for high-density housing,
        But there's often good reason for wrath
        When your neighbour, who visits his bathroom,
        Pulls his plunger and empties YOUR bath! and...

        
        6One evening I chanced to trip over -
        I went through the wall with a BANG!
        I discovered we had one more bedroom -
        They'd left out the door in the plan! and...
