Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Clambering men in big bad boots

Dug up my den, dug up my roots

Treated us like plasticine town

They built us up and knocked us down

[Verse 2]

From Meccano to Legoland

Here they come with a brick in their hand

Men with heads filled up with sand

It's build...

[Verse 3]

It's build, a house where we can stay (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

Add a new bit every day, eh, eh, eh (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

It's build, a road for us to cross (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Ba-ba-ba-ba)

[Verse 4]

Whistling men in yellow vans

They came and drew us diagrams

Showed us how it all worked out

And wrote it down in case of doubt

[Verse 5]

Slow, slow and quick, quick, quick

It's wall-to-wall and brick-to-brick

They work so fast, it makes you sick

It's build...

[Verse 6]

It's build, a house where we can stay (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

Add a new bit every day, eh, eh, eh (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

It's build, a road for us to cross (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Ba-ba-ba-ba)

[Verse 7]

Oh, it's build...

It's build...

It's build...

[Verse 8]

Down with sticks and up with bricks

In with boots and up with roots

It's in with suits and new recruits

It's build...

[Verse 9]

It's build, a house where we can stay (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

Add a new bit every day, eh, eh, eh (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

It's build, a road for us to cross (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Ba-ba-ba-ba)

It's build, a house where we can stay (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

Add a new bit every day, eh, eh, eh (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

It's build, a road for us to cross (Ba-ba-ba-ba-build)

Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Ba-ba-ba-ba)
