All around my house, everything's broke
Don't nothing work around here no more
Early in the morning my feet get cold
Put on my sock, there's hole in the toe

Put on my sock, there's hole in the toe
Don't nothing work 'round here no more

All around my house, everything's broke
Don't nothing work around here no more
Can't be late for the dance tonight
I wound my watch but it won't tell time

I wound my watch but it won't tell time
Put on my sock, there's hole in the toe
Don't nothing work 'round here no more

All around my house, everything's broke
Don't nothing work around here no more
Late in the evening I need a little light
Turned on the lamp but the lamp won't shine

Turned on the lamp but the lamp won't shine
I wound my watch but it won't tell time
Put on my sock, there's hole in the toe
Don't nothing work 'round here no more

All around my house, everything's broke
Don't nothing work around here no more
I want to make a call to my best friend Joe
Picked up the phone, there was no dial tone

Turned on the lamp but the lamp won't shine
I wound my watch but it won't tell time
Put on my sock, there's hole in the toe
Don't nothing work 'round here no more

All around my house, everything's broke
Don't nothing work around here no more
Gotta get up early in the morning so
I got me a rooster, but the rooster won't crow

I was so hungry, I thought I'd die
Tired to cook a meal but the stove won't light

Tried to cook a meal but the stove won't light

I want to take a bath so I smell real nice
Turned on the water but the well was dry
