lyrics
Let’s make a home in autumn
Let’s make a house from sticks
Let’s build a house of straw
and let’s build a house of brick
If wild dogs come ‘round
to blow these houses down,
we’ll throw our nets around them
and then we’ll make a house of pelts and bone
Rows of tidy beds under leaves
Save a quiet place for me
Fall baby
Let’s make our home in autumn
away from winter’s tricks
Let’s make ourselves an oven
Let’s build a house for pigs
Don’t let the wolves have any
Don’t spare them any strength
at least not ‘till January
if there are any left by then
Rows of tidy beds under leaves
Save a quiet place for me
Fall baby
Let’s make a house from sticks
Let’s build a house of straw
and let’s build a house of brick
If wild dogs come ‘round
to blow these houses down,
we’ll throw our nets around them
and then we’ll make a house of pelts and bone
Rows of tidy beds under leaves
Save a quiet place for me
Fall baby
Let’s make our home in autumn
away from winter’s tricks
Let’s make ourselves an oven
Let’s build a house for pigs
Don’t let the wolves have any
Don’t spare them any strength
at least not ‘till January
if there are any left by then
Rows of tidy beds under leaves
Save a quiet place for me
Fall baby
