The Old Man’s House Is Broken Down Words & Music by Elroy Cabeza

Well, the old man’s house is broken down (Down, down, down, down, down)

As you stroll on up his walk

You can hear his neighbors talk

You see it on your own

It’s a cruddy little home

Broken down; down, down

Everything’s in disrepair

Wonder if he ever cared

Condemnation, yes it should

For this hulk of rotting wood

Well, the old man’s house is broken down (Down, down, down, down, down)

It’s worse than it appears

Not been cleaned in many years

How could you live in here?

Without having any fear

Falling down; down, down

Drafty, dusty, leaking, creaking, peeling, fading, moldy, rusting

(Downright dirty awful now)

(Down, down, down, down, down)

Well, the old man’s house is broken down (Down, down, down, down, down)

He’s gotta have his way

This is my house hear him say

If you don’t like it here

Get out and go anywhere

Thrown out get on out

Well house divided cannot stand

He threw you off his tattered land

You tried to help and lend a hand

Stubborn old man just won’t bend

He’s broken down – 10x
