I built a house of sticks and stones Steady as a metronome Said there was nobody home but he came in He huffed and puffed and blew it down again I built a house of mud and brick The roof was tall, the walls were thick My brothers went to market but I had to stay He huffed and puffed and blew it all away Please believe me I'm no fool At least not as a rule I've a quick and clever mind He always wears the same disguise When I look into his eyes I believe him every time I hide my head when they return They say when you ever gonna learn We told you that you had to keep a strong defense He huffs and puffs and you lose all your sense Please believe me I'm no fool At least not as a rule I've a quick and clever mind He always wears the same disguise When I look into his eyes I believe him every time Every time I built a house of sticks and stones Steady as a metronome Said there was nobody home but he came in He huffed and puffed, but who's afraid of him He huffed and puffed and blew it down again
