WOOD WOULD
(Larry Kingston)


Del Reeves - 1966




What would make this shell of house I live in seem like home
Wood would, you could too if you would and wanted too
What would make this rickety shack more solid than stone
Wood would, you could too if you would and wanted too


You could make the paint worth peeling
Stop that creepy leaky old ceiling
You could take the bow out of the rafters
And fill this empty house with happy laughter


What would make this shack of mine fine as a mansion on a hill
Wood would, you could too if you would and say you will


(Instrumental Break)


What would keep that shivery quivery wind from blowing through
Wood would, you could too if you would and wanted too
What would give these dreary old walls a homier brighter hue
Wood would, you could too if you would and wanted too


You could make the paint worth peeling
Stop that creepy leaky old ceiling
You could take the bow out of the rafters
And fill this empty house with happy laughter


What would make this shack of mine fine as a mansion on a hill
Wood would, you could too if you would and say you will
