I see those newlyweds, their eyes wide and believing 
They bill and coo at the mention of Chez Nous 
Appearances can be deceiving 

[Chorus: x2]
It's just a door and a window 
Four walls and a roof 
But a home of your own would be shatterproof 

We papered over all the cracks and painted a cat's lick and a promise 
The landlord was a man of few words, and most of them were ominous 

[Chorus: x2]

It was nothing really to write home about 
Then one day it all appears too much 
Here comes my little hammer and its shatterproof touch 

He said, "Be practical, 
These are most unreasonable demands. 
Forget about the broken spectacles and the damage to your hand." 

[Chorus]
