BUILD IT UP, PAINT IT NICE, TEAR IT DOWN
Jacobs / Meyer

as rec by Anita O'Day w Stan Kenton & his Orch  
May 11th 1944 Hollywood


Build it up, paint it nice, tear it down, and then
Build it up, paint it nice and tear it down again!
Take some wood, get some nails, fetch a plan, and then
Build it up, paint it nice and tear it down again!

Don't sit around
Like a buff on the ground,
You'll get the jumps like a flea!
Mix a barrel of fluff
With a trap full of stuff,
Throw the trap in the scrap and be scrappy like me!

Build it up, paint it nice, tear it down, and then
Build it up, paint it nice and tear it down again!
