On the great home building journey
I was planning it with my wife
There were chairs and beds and clocks and sinks
There were stands and frills and frames

The first sting I met
Was a realtor scuzz
Said the land was mis-zoned
The piping's out
'Cus the cost's sky high
And the bank would give no loan

I'm getting quite desp'rate 'cus my house has no drains
To go leavin' them out was insane
The inspector was in the bribery game
So the permit guys wouldn't give me no pain

La la la la la la la la La la la la la

After two days with a plugged bathtub
My skin was smelling like lead
After three days of this bailing fun
Still the waters' approachin' the bed
And I'm havin' to hold
'Cus the toilet don't flow
And the house does stink like the dead

You see because I was destitute my house had no drains
To go leavin' them out was insane
All that pressure to go avoiding bank claims
But there ain't dough saved that is worth all this pain

Fla fla fla fla fla fla fla fla Fla fla fla fla fla

After nine days there's still no place to pee
And the shower stall's turning green
There were backups in the tubs and sinks
There was sludge and swill and stains
If only I had downpipes that connect underground
And a bathroom commode above
Maybe a septic tank's good start all around
But the equity's not enough

I'm getting quite desp'rate 'cus my house has no drains
To go leavin' them out was insane
Savin' dollars was a terrible shame
'Cus I've crossed my legs and I'm in severe pain

Gur-gle la la la la glub glub Gur-gle la la glub
Gur-gle la la la la glub glub Gur-gle la la glub
